Synopsis
Focus on Science and Society focuses on key ethical issues raised by groundbreaking scientific and technological advancements in today's society. This series looks at the importance, relevance, and morality of issues that fill today's headlines. It presents the basic scientific and technological terms, concepts, theories, and research behind these debates and emphasizes the need for ethical and responsible science. These up-to-date titles look at the balance that must be struck between the competing interests of science and society.
In the past, cloning was a figment of science fiction. However, ever since Dolly, the cloned sheep, was introduced in 1998, it has become an astonishing reality. Scientists around the world are facing the frontier of human cloning. Should the line be drawn here? What about using genetic engineering to "program" one's own unborn child? The author goes to the cutting edge of scientific research and examines its myriad of ethical consequences.
