Cloning the Buddha
the moral impact of biotechnology
"Is it "fair" for wealthy people to buy genes to assure their offspring good looks, health, and high intelligence?"--BOOK JACKET. "Are tomatoes, genomically spliced to include fish genes because of their anti-aging properties, acceptable food for vegetarians?"--BOOK JACKET. "If biotech can cure cystic fibrosis and other diseases and alleviate world hunger, wouldn't it be morally wrong not to pursue it?"--BOOK JACKET. "Richard Heinberg tackles some of the thorniest ethical questions we face. Examples from plant and animal research; interviews with scientific, political, and religious leaders; and a clear overview of the helpful and harmful effects of biotech on our food supply, reproductive choices, and environment give thinking readers ample evidence for making up their minds."--BOOK JACKET.
