The New Genetics: Challenges for Science, Faith, and Politics by Roger Lincoln Shinn

In the extensive, controversial literature about the genome project and genetic engineering, The New Genetics occupies a distinctive niche. It uses the startling new discoveries in genetics as a case study for the many ethical decisions generated by the explosion of new scientific knowledge and power.
Shinn investigates the interactions of science, ethics, faith, politics, and ideology in the making of decisions by individuals, communities, and governments. The New Genetics addresses the difficult problems facing all of us - from policy makers to ordinary families.
