De la contraportada
Bioethics for Scientists provides an introduction to the ethics of modern life sciences and encompasses a wide range of environmental, social, scientific and medical issues. Subjects such as global warming, GM crops and the recent advances in genetics and cloning affect all areas of society. Scientists in all fields are frequently reminded of their own responsibilities, not just within their own profession but also to society.
International experts provide in-depth discussion of these subjects with a clear understanding of the science involved, and explore different approaches and opinions which consider the implications of these issues on science and society. Bioethics for Scientists will show you how to think about the issues without trying to tell you what to think. Where relevant, case studies are included to support these discussions.
This book includes chapters on:
- environmental ethics
- use of natural resources
- experimental use of animals
- crop biotechnology and GM foods
- patenting life
- human reproduction and technology
- human genetics and genetic enhancement · cloning of humans and animals
- euthanasia and related issues
'[This book] specialises in the public understanding and attitudes towards biotechnology and the social and ethical implications of the new genetics?' Dr J R Downie, Division of Environmental & Evolutionary Biology, University of Glasgow, UK
'Unique emphasis on the environmental, agricultural and animal science contents' Dr Sana Loue, Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, CWRU School of Medicine, Ohio, USA
