About the Book

Our rapidly expanding genetic knowledge today points toward a near future in which the elements of humanity closest to our moral core may themselves be produced, manipulated, commodified, and exchanged. * Explores the moral and ethical concerns derived from an increasing knowledge of genetics and the variety of its commercial applications * A major contribution to the emerging understanding of the role that ethics will play in genetic commerce * Written by experts from the academic and corporate sector, with diverse backgrounds in business, social science, and philosophy * Addresses a range of relevant issues, including genetic screening, the use of individual's genetic information, the rise of genetically modified foods, patenting, pharmaceutical mergers and monopolization, and the implications of genetic testing on non-human mammals

Review :
"These essays demonstrate the critical importance of applied ethics as we all grapple with the biotechnology revolution. These scholars use ethics to illustrate the conflicts that emerge from commercializing genetic technologies and to indicate how moral reasoning could help society make better decisions about how to deploy them. A much needed contribution to understanding the expanding role of genetic technologies in our world." Keith Douglass Warner, Santa Clara University
