Gordon Graham asks whether genetic engineering might be introducing God back into the debate and whether the risks of a brave new genetic world outweigh the potential benefits.\u003cbr\u003eEssential reading for anyone interested in science, technology, and philosophy, \u003cem\u003eGenes: A Philosophical Inquiry\u003c\/em\u003e is ideal for those wanting to find out more about the ethical implications of genetics and the future of biotechnology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon Graham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415252571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415252577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.32w x 0.79d","brand":"Gordon Graham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064885555455,"sku":"9780415252577","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_495bd43a-701d-4eb0-8dda-086ae451737d.jpg?v=1768671693","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genes-gordon-graham-9780415252577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
