Part of a series which aims to inform non-specialists about recent scientific developments, this book examines the area of molecular biology and the influence developments here are having on neuroscience, agriculture and medicine. The book explores the progress of the biotechnological revolution which has produced a large number of engineered bio-products. As well as the technical aspects, the book investigates the moral, ethical and juridicial issues raised by biotechnological innovations, asking whether they might not be the precursor of sinister forms of eugenics.
