Overview

Within the limits of today's technology, the human genome is as complete as it can be. With this map came a new era of Science. We believe that this map will, and does, unlock many health and developmental mysteries. This volume explores issues relating to the science of human genetics. Should we get onboard with human genetic enhancement and therapies? Should private companies be able to patent and profit from their genetic discoveries when that map is the crux of humanity? Is genetic testing beneficial? Lastly, what is the impact of collecting human genetic information; who's going to track us and why? This single volume answers these questions, from a variety of well-respected resources, in an array of viewpoints in which many views are divergent. This panoply of information allows readers to think critically and develop their own intelligent viewpoints.
