5.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing discussion emerges in essays filled with scholarship and backed by research, August 8, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
The basic premise of Rights And Liberties In The Biotech Age is that we need a 'Genetic Bill of Rights' to assure genetic developments are kept under close control - and that the public be protected from these developments. To this end, professor Krimsky's background in environmental policy and urban planning blends with freelance writer/Responsible Genetics program director Peter Shorett to bring together contributors from a range of fields who discuss such rights and liberties, from rights to genetic-free foods to life patents and scientific exchanges. An intriguing discussion emerges in essays filled with scholarship and backed by research.
