After a short history of the field and definitions of terms, the book describes what is known and what is feared about emerging technologies and questions related to the inadvertent release of dangerous microorganisms, the safety of products derived from biotechnology, and the impact of genetically engineered animals on their environment. There is also discussion of animal welfare concerns and society's capacity to regulate and manage technology.Animal biotechnologyAnimal biotechnology.660/.65National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Defining Science-based Concerns Associated with Products of Animal Biotechnology.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817559303321ANIMAL biotechnology412597UNINA
