The Promise and Peril of Genetic Engineering: Transhumanist Dreams and Dystopian Nightmares by by Maxwell J. MehlmanThe Promise and Peril of Genetic Engineering: Transhumanist Dreams and Dystopian Nightmares
by by Maxwell J. Mehlman

Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN: 1421406691


Transhumanists advocate for the development and distribution of technologies that will enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities, even eliminate aging.

What if the dystopian futures and transhumanist utopias found in the pages of science journals, Margaret Atwood novels, films like Gattaca, and television shows like Dark Angel are realized? What kind of world would humans have created?

ISBN: 1934015164


Biotechnology is a rapidly-developing 21st century technology and interdisciplinary science that has already made an impact on commercial and non-commercial aspects of human life, such as stem cell research, cloning, pharmaceuticals, food and agriculture, bioenergetics, and information technology.

This book, appropriate for novices in the biotechnology/genetics fi elds and also for engineering and biology students, covers all of the fundamental principles of these modern topics. It has been written in a very simple manner for self-study. In addition to the comprehensive coverage of the standard topics, such as cell growth and development, genetic principles (mapping, DNA, etc), protein structure, plant and animal cell cultures, and applications.

Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math
ISBN: 0073525308


Today, human genetics is for everyone. It is about variation more than about illnesses, and increasingly about the common rather than about the rare. Once an obscure science or an occasional explanation for an odd collection of symptoms, human genetics is now part of everyday conversation.

By coming to know genetic backgrounds, people can control their environments in more healthy ways. Genetic knowledge is, therefore, both informative and empowering. The 10th edition of Human Genetics: Concepts and Applications shows students how and why that is true.



Book Cover: Human Molecular Genetics by Tom Strachan, Andrew ReadHuman Molecular Genetics
