The emerging techniques in genetic engineering constitute a technological revolution with the potential to alter our environment and reconstitute animals and plants. This book presents recent work by European experts on moral philosophy, public policy, and the regulation and control of genetically controlled organisms. It sets out to articulate the key issues, controversies and possible solutions to the problems posed by genetic engineering and modern biotechnology. Areas covered include transgenic animals, xenografting, patenting life, human genome research, sustainable development, environmental release of genetically engineered organisms (GEO's), risk-assessment techniques and regulations. The book deals with the way this new technology can be democratized and "socially managed".

Human genetics is not the playground of science alone. Genetics concerns all of us, for we all have DNA, genes, genomes, and chromosomes. Our genes determine partly our appearance and our behaviour, our talents and our health risks.The authors of The Human Recipe use humour to explain what we understand about human genetics. With anecdotes and topical examples, they demonstrate how genetics affects our everyday lives. What if a DNA analysis were to reveal that your biological father must be someone other than the person you’ve been calling “Dad” for years? Does genetics explain why Africans excel in athletics, Asians in gymnastics, and Europeans mainly in sports testing physical strengths? What is the difference between a genetic disease and a contagious illness?The newest developments in human genetics also raise ethical questions and issues which are currently being debated within the genetics community, and the authors do not avoid looking at these either. Should we use genetics to ensure the conception of healthy children or even “designer babies”? Should we identify genetic risks before pregnancy? Should we edit genes in embryos? Can we identify our risk for cancers and can we prevent them? What about privacy in DNA research and forensic databases? Can DNA be stolen, and if so, would this be considered a serious crime? The Human Recipe provides a clever insight into all you might want to know about human genetics in our current society.
