This volume addresses controversial questions surrounding the issue of genetic engineering. Topics discussed include the benefits and risks of genetic engineering, the environmental impact of genetic engineering, and the pros and cons of regulation of genetic engineering. The viewpoints are selected from a wide range of highly respected and often hard-to-find sources and publications. Allows the reader to attain the higher-level critical thinking and reading skills that are essential in a culture of diverse and contradictory opinions.
