Even the prospect of immortality beckons. Such scenarios excite many people and frighten or appall many others--already biotechnology opponents are organizing political movements aimed at restricting scientific research, banning the development and commercialization of various products and technologies, and limiting citizens' access to the fruits of the biotech revolution. Bailey, science writer for Reason magazine, argues that the coming biotechnology revolution, far from endangering human dignity, will enable more of us to live flourishing lives free of disease, disability, and the threat of early death. Bailey covers the full range of the coming biotechnology breakthroughs, from stem-cell research to third-world farming, from brain-enhancing neuropharmaceuticals to designer babies.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Biotechnology $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Genetic engineering $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Bioethics. 650 12 $a Biotechnology $x ethics. 650 22 $a Genetic Engineering $x ethics. 650 17 $a Biotechnologie. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Genetische manipulatie. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Ethische aspecten. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Sociale aspecten. $2 gtt 650 6 $a Biotechnologie $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a GeÌnie geÌneÌtique $x Aspect moral. 650 6 $a BioeÌthique. 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip058/2005005875.html 941 $a 7 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718082918.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160823045708.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PWAX296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PHAX277 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=787C44B62B0A11DE8AF32708A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
