- catalog abstract ""From cloning to DNA fingerprinting, the advance of research in genetics and development of new methods to alter genetic makeup are increasingly creating moral and ethical dilemmas. On one hand, genetic research might someday offer possible solutions to medical problems, such as AIDS and cancer, as well as to societal and global problems, such as crime and hunger. On the other hand, these advances open the door to abuse of the technology and may cause further problems, such as discrimination toward people with "inferior" genes and new forms of privacy invasion. In Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, author Lisa Yount examines the issues surrounding this changing role of genetic technology and how our society and our law-makers are attempting to deal with them."--Jacket.".
