简介：Avoiding the sensationalism that has surrounded this new filed, Dr. Zimmerman draws on his long experience in the laboratory, in legislative committees, and in international biotechnology, to provide a balanced perspective on the startling developments that are only now emerging. Will we raise a generation of "designer" children, because parents will be able to predetermine their offsprings' traits? Will newly discovered secrets about the aging process enable scientists to slow down or even halt this fundamental aspect of life? Zimmerman explains the intricacies of genetic research and cell biology, and discusses the ethical implications of this knowledge. ISBN 0-306-41315-9 :
