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:
Genes have become mythologized as truth-tellers and explanations for everything from homosexuality to heavy drinking. More and more, the unregulated findings of genetic science are being written into insurance policies, employment contracts, into law enforcement and education. This new edition of Hubbard's book challenges the current hegemony of gene research, exploring both its scientific and social implications, including new advances such as genetic cloning.
