Biotechnology and Society is a primer for better understanding the debates, controversies, fears, and hopes that have shaped how we think about bodies, organisms, and life in the twenty-first century. Drawing on the most up-to-date history, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy of biotechnology, it is an essential introduction to biotechnologies and their wide-ranging consequences. The author covers the use of micro-organisms for bread-making and beer-brewing; debates over genetically modified foods, cloning, and stem cells; genetic testing and discrimination; designer babies; personal genomics; and more, even biosecurity and biotech art. Each short, accessible chapter ends with suggestions for further reading, making this an ideal general survey or coursebook.
