This is one of those rare books that truly succeeds in presenting sound and modern science in a completely accessible way. To understand the science and the ethics we all need to understand the genetic data within our cells and what can and should be done, now and in the future, with that information." "The authors take us through recent developments from the Human Genome Project and current issues regarding cloning, gene therapy, and genetic ethics, including the eugenics movement.
