Review :
"A fruitful text, the reader is bound to find several essays that meet his or her needs and interests." —Metapsychology "... an innovative contribution to the conversation about human genetics....This is a tremendous book: a unique addition to the scholarly discussion and suited to upper division and graduate biology and humanities courses that seek interdisciplinary inquiry into the implications of human genetic knowledge." —Religious Studies Review "Sloan is absolutely correct in helping his readers see implications well beyond the ethics of medical genetics.… These scientific, historical and philosophical contributions make this volume an invaluable and unique contribution to the growing literature that is exploring the moral and ethical implications of the Human Genome Project...." —National Catholic Bioethics Center "Anyone who is interested in human genetic research will find that this book offers a relevant and interesting analysis of the full range of ethical, philosophical and theological implications of such work. ...[T]he contents of this book are of great importance...." —Addiction Biology "The Human Genome Project seeks to pinpoint the genetic basis of virtually any human trait, but it also offers ethical and theological issues which will change human perspective and meaning. Contributors discuss the project's background, issues, and impact with an eye to revealing the many underlying social changes which will occur as a result of the project." —Bookwatch
