genetic engineering

Presents a selection of primary sources that provide insights into all sides of the debate over genetic engineering, exploring the questions of whether genetic engineering will benefit humanity, food, and farming, whether the engineering of human genes is ethical, and whether the practice should be more closely regulated.

Examines both sides of the genetic engineering issue.

Provides information about DNA, and explains how knowledge of DNA is being used in genetic engineering. Includes color illustrations and a glossary.

Looks at possible future methods for prolonging life, such as genetic engineering and the use of artificial body parts. Also discusses robots, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, cloning, and other technologies.

Shows how scientists are trying to use genetic engineering to produce food, heal the sick, and change the world.
