Synopsis
Genetically Engineered Organisms Benefits and Risks There can be few more controversial and emotive issues in science today than genetic engineering; in particular, the release of genetically engineered organisms into the environment and the use of genetically engineered products for medical diagnosis and therapy. This book, written by John Fincham, Jerry Ravetz and other members of a working party commissioned by the Council for Science and Society, describes the current state of the art of genetic engineering and surveys all the important areas in which engineered organisms are, or could be, employed and the benefits that can be expected. The book then goes on to examine the possible risks involved, discusses the management of risk and the maintenance of public confidence. Written at a level suitable for anyone with a basic background knowledge of biology and genetics, this book provides a unique introduction to this crucial debate and will almost certainly come to be seen as a bench-mark of the state of play at the beginning of the 1990s.
