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".

De gentechnologie komt niet meer op ons af. Ze is er al. Meer dan we vermoeden, beïnvloedt de genetische revolutie nu al ons dagelijks leven. Maar in de doolhof van moeilijke begrippen en ver-van-mijn-bed-woorden vinden alleen specialisten hun weg. Pieter van Dooren ontmaskert de geheimen van de genen en vertaalt het wetenschappelijk jargon in mensentaal: van de light- en turbo-koe tot opruimers van afvalstoffen, van betere wasmiddelen tot insektbestendige planten, van de prenatale diagnose tot erfelijkheidsonderzoek naar mucoviscidose, van motvrije schapen tot antivriesvissen die voortaan in kouder water kunnen leven, van dioxinevreters die de bodem zuiver maken tot tomaten met een zoetere smaak... De genetische revolutie brengt een indrukwekkende hoeveelheid informatie: volledig, up-to-date en overzichtelijk. Dit boek schetst ook de gevolgen en de risico's van dit menselijk kunnen. Het reikt alle elementen aan om zelf te oordelen over 'voor en tegen' en 'waar naartoe?'.

This book gives an overview of the potential and the practical details that need to be resolved to make human germline engineering possible. Chapters present the ethical and social concerns and implications of the fast-approaching capability to alter the human germline and take an active role in the future evolution of the species.

In this revised edition with a new preface from the editor, leading scientists explain the nature and goals of `test tube' reproduction and genetic engineering, and their eugenic implications. In contrast to the Warnock report, the extended commentary considers the issues in the context of a social ethic rather than the individualist viewpoint.
