What will we know about ourselves as humans, and how will that affect our lives? It's impossible to know the future for certain, but one thing we do know--perhaps nothing will alter our future more than the Genetics Revolution of the past thirty-five years. This book clarifies the history and examines the possible impact of five major areas of genetic research: The Human Genome Project and genetic engineering, In vitro fertilization (IVF) and the technology of reproduction, The Human Genome Diversity Project, which is studying the variation of the human genome, Embryonic stem-cell research, Cloning. All of these areas of research produce two reactions among the general public--hope for the improvement of people's lives, and fear of science out of control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Genetics Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e examines the scientific, social, and political impacts of the genetics on everyday life--in the past, in the present, and in the future.

In addition, it integrates science and social science topics in a way that supports topics in the school curricula. The book contains documented, current information that both supports and challenges current thinking about genetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose Morgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313336725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313336720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.32h x 7.12w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 635\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2006 pg. 1849\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2006 pg. 370","brand":"Rose Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135974420735,"sku":"9780313336720","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58ec035f-54da-4bce-be61-5a96197a0617.jpg?v=1770159682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-genetics-revolution-rose-morgan-9780313336720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
