Review:
'With their rich array of citations and examples . . . [Hubbard and Wald] show how the marriage of science and business . . . has created that most treacherous of American progeny: commerce masquerading as human liberation.'
--Daniel Callahan, The New York Times Book Review
Synopsis:
--Daniel Callahan, The New York Times Book Review
This study takes a critical look at the current emphasis on the importance of genetic inheritance and its threat to privacy, civil liberties, and social justice. It includes an explanation of what genes are and how they function, and examines the medical establishment's grandiose claims for genetic research, and the dangers that lie in the use of genetic information in medicine, employment, insurance, law enforcement and education. The link between genes research and eugenics is also explored.
