Abstract Entertaining, informative, and written in plain English by a world-class science and technology journalist, "The Genomics Age" explores how recent leaps in the understanding of DNA offer astounding scientific promises, and pose complex ethical issues. It covers all areas of our lives that might change, and subjects that are hot and frequently in the news, such as anti-aging and longevity, stem cell research, "designer" babies, and of course the social, moral and ethical questions that accompany these subjects.
AbstractList Science is on the verge of unlocking the mysteries of life. Will the knowledge mean the beginning of a new era, or the end of life as we know it?.
