Biotechnology and the Integrity of Life

More about the book

The book delves into the moral dilemmas surrounding genetic engineering, addressing the public's apprehensions despite the scientific community's belief in its potential benefits. Michael Hauskeller introduces the concept of 'biological integrity' to explore and validate these fears, suggesting that they stem from deeper philosophical concerns rather than mere irrationality. By analyzing this principle, the author provides a framework for understanding the complexities of public opinion on genetic technology, bridging the gap between science and societal values.
