- A major contribution to the emerging understanding of the role that ethics will play in genetic commerce
- Written by experts from the academic and corporate sector, with diverse backgrounds in business, social science, and philosophy
- Addresses a range of relevant issues, including genetic screening, the use of individual’s genetic information, the rise of genetically modified foods, patenting, pharmaceutical mergers and monopolization, and the implications of genetic testing on non-human mammals
