Bioscience and the good life --Bibliography --Index.The field of biotechnology has provided us with radical revisions and reappraisals of the nature and possibilities of our biological existence. Yet beyond its immediate utility, does a life that is healthier, longer, or freer from disease make us ''better'' or more moral people? Bioscience and the Good Life explores the complex relationship between modern biosciences and human flourishing, their sympathies and schisms, and the instances of their reconciliation.Science, ethics & society.Life sciencesSocial aspectsLife sciencesSocial aspects.303.483Brassington Iain802810UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910774900303321Bioscience and the Good Life1804098UNINA
