* Umfang/Format: 227 Seiten : Illustrationen ; 24 cm * Anmerkungen: Literaturverz. Seiten 207 - 221 * Einbandart und Originalverkaufspreis: fester Pappeinband : DM 36.003-89190-954-3 fester Pappeinband : DM 36.00 * Sachgebiet: Biologie ; 33 Medizin ; 64 Sozialgeschichte Die Genetik hat im Laufe dieses Jahrhunderts zahlreiche Einzelheiten des Vererbungsvorgangs aufgeklärt und damit weitreichende Eingriffe in die Vererbung ermöglicht: die Gen-Technologie ist heute als Machtwissenschaft an die Seite der Atom-Technologie getreten. Wie begreifen die Genetiker selbst ihre Forschungstätigkeit? Darüber geben die Lehrbücher der Genetik keine Auskunft, obwohl fast alle Genetiker, die die Entwicklung ihrer Disziplin maßgeblich beeinflußten, programmatische Texte hinterlassen haben: Träume von der Macht über das Leben und einer besseren Welt, die mit Hilfe von Gen-Technik Wirklichkeit werden sollten. Diese Machtvisionen sind ein Schlüssel zum Verständnis der aktuellen Entwicklungen in der Genetik und Fortpflanzungsmedizin. Dieses Buch enthält die politischen Manifeste namhafter Pioniere der modernen Genetik über den Einsatz von Samenbanken, Retortenbabies und menschlichen Genkarten zur »Befreiung der Frau« und zur Herstellung einer »wohlhabenden, befriedeten Weltgesellschaft«. Zudem wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit diese gentechnischen Sozialutopien die Theorie und Praxis der Genetik bis heute beeinflußt haben. Aus dem Inhalt: Eine neue Biologie: Das Konzept der »biologischen Ingenieurskunst« ? Die Jagd nach der Struktur der Gene / Die moderne Genetik und die Lösung der sozialen Frage: Ein bedrohliches Bild von der Lage der Menschheit ? Die neue Eugenik / Von der Utopie zur Realität: Humangenetik und Atombombe ? Eugenik und Sozialstaat / Humangenetik im Dienst der Planwirtschaft: »Sozialistische Eugenik« ? Die »Lysenko-Affäre« / Texte von J. B. S. Haldane, A. S. Serebrovskij, H. J. Muller, J. Lederberg und anderen. gutes Exemplar, ordentlich * Verlag: Nördlingen : Greno * Bindung: gebundene Ausgabe.…
