GordonHoboken, N.J. Wiley-Lissc20031 online resource (304 p.)Includes index.0-471-20647-4 Setting the table -- Building a living organism from inanimate parts -- Molecular biology and recombinant dna technology -- Transmitting the genetic information to future generations -- Developmental biology -- Reproductive biology and assisted reproductive technologies -- Methods and strategies for gene transfer and engineering of the germ line -- Introduction to the ethics of reproductive genetic technologies -- Future developments and applications of genetic engineering technology -- What if? ethical and legal aspects of germ line manipulation.With implications that go to the core of what it means to be human, the issues raised by genetic manipulation-especially cloning-have sparked a passionate debate among governmental, religious, and scientific quarters, as well as the media and the general public. Keeping to the actual science rather than speculation is of the utmost importance for an enlightened approach to this weighty discussion. In clear, lively prose, The Science and Ethics of Engineering the Human Germ Line: Mendel's Maze provides an authoritative treatment of the principles of science and bioethics that beGenetic engineeringPopular worksHuman reproductive technologyPopular worksElectronic books.Genetic engineeringHuman reproductive technology174.25660.6/5660.65Gordon Jon W.1949-927738MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143181103321The science and ethics of engineering the human germ line2084428UNINA
