Synopsis:

Scully (ethics in the biological sciences, U. of Basel, Switzerland) spent 14 months meeting members of the Society of Friends, Quakers, in Britain and talking about genetics and ethics. Rather than summarizing what Quakers think about the topic, or distilling from their discussions what a proper Quaker should think, she explores where their attitudes came from and processes by which they approached moral problems in an area they were unfamiliar with. The topics include genetic testing and manipulation, genetic privacy, third-party access and patenting, other species, genetic variation and disability, broader themes, and making moral evaluations. The text is double spaced. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
