Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Nearly 70 years after the dawn of the genetic age, biotechnology, scientists proclaim, is poised to rewrite the book of life.

This book looks at flash points in law, politics, ethics, and culture to argue that the claims of rewriting life are overblown"--
