'It's all in the genes'. Is this true, and if so, what is all in the genes? Genes: A Philosophical Inquiry is a crystal clear and highly informative guide to a debate none of us can afford to ignore.Beginning with a much-needed overview of the relationship between science and technology, Gordon Graham lucidly explains and assesses the most important and controversial aspects of the genes debate: Darwinian theory and its critics, the idea of the 'selfish' gene, evolutionary psychology, memes, genetic screening and modification, including the risks of cloning and 'designer'

This volume examines the impact of advances in genetics and assisted reproduction technologies on family law, human rights and the rights of the child, including the effects of international treaties on national legislation. It surveys the theoretical, ethical and legal discussions with regard to biotechnology and family law issues and the search for a balance between safeguarding respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the need to ensure freedom of research. However, biotechnology impinges not only on isolated individuals and their rights, but also on unborn children, the family as a network of living relationships and the basic structure of any society, as well as the foundation of parentage and kinship, social organization as a whole and, finally, mankind itself. As the attention of the World turns to cloning, this book will contribute to the search for a balance between the rights and freedoms of born and yet to be born human beings and the quest for new technologies.

Il y a un demi siècle seulement, l'ADN livrait le secret de sa structure en double hélice. Depuis, il est devenu possible d'accéder aux mécanismes moléculaires de l'hérédité, de modifier les formes naturelles du vivant, et de créer des "OGM", des organismes génétiquement modifiés, bactéries, plantes ou animaux - sans que les processus biologiques mis en jeu soient toujours parfaitement compris, ni parfaitement maîtrisés. Les utilisations de la génétique réveillent dès lors des craintes anciennes, et en activent de nouvelles, qui touchent les unes et les autres aux conséquences de la manipulation du vivant, en général et de la modification de l'humain, en particulier. Ce livre analyse la manière dont notre société a accueilli ces techniques, et restitue les termes du débat qui en est résulté, pour aboutir à un constat implacable : jamais ce débat n'a été à la hauteur des enjeux. Fondé sur des recherches systématiques et précises, conjuguant clarté et rigueur scientifique, toujours très documenté, cet ouvrage mobilise sociologie, politologie et sciences juridiques de manière intégrée, refuse les facilités de la simple juxtaposition des perspectives offertes et dénonce la confiscation de thèmes scientifiques et techniques par les "experts". Par les analyses qu'il développe, ce livre constitue un plaidoyer argumenté pour une démocratie scientifique.
