Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. Later printing. xx, 339, [1] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. The author was CEO of Interleukin Genetics, Ind. From 1990 to 2000 he was the Executive Director of the Shriver Center for Mental Retardation, Inc. The author has held faculty appointments at the Harvard Medical School and Brandeis University. He was President of the American Society of Law, Medicine and Ethics. He is the author of several books and has published more then 100 articles in scholarly journals. This work presents twenty-four true, wide-ranging tales of crime, history, human behavior, illness, and ethics, told from the personal perspective of the author, an eminent physician-lawyer who uses the stories to illustrate the principles of human genetics and to discuss the broader issues. This work includes brief references to President Theodore Roosevelt's interest in Positive Eugenics as expounded by Francis Galton (a cousin of Charles Darwin). For laypeople and professionals alike who yearn for a better understanding of genetically engineered crops, DNA fingerprinting, cloning, or gene therapy, here is a valuable addition to a small but critical literature that will frame the public discourse as it is decided how to use the burgeoning knowledge of the genome. The lessons are delivered in the course of fascinating historical tales (including an especially enjoyable chapter on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec) with a hint of Lewis Thomas-like awe and fascination with the power of genetic analysis. This work is a collection of twenty-four essays about genetics as well as a "mini-textbook" of genetic concepts and technologies. The stories illustrate how advances in genetics impact society in many areas including: history, justice, human behavior, plants and animals, diseases, and ethical dilemmas. Through Reilly's stories, the reader is exposed not only to the fundamentals of genetics, but also to the multitude of legal and ethical issues in a variety of areas such as privacy, agriculture, crime, property, health care, insurance, estate planning, and domestic relations.…

Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. *** "The gene has become a cultural icon and an increasingly rich source of imagery and ideas for visual artists. Drawing on a wide range of contemporary painting and sculpture, The Molecular Gaze: Art in the Genetic Age explores the moral and bioethical questions these works address. What does it mean to be human? What is "identity" in a society of genetically manipulated individuals? Questions like these are growing louder as genetic technology advances and the public examines the ethical consequences more widely. Suzanne Anker and Dorothy Nelkin, an artist and a social scientist, have written a thought-provoking and visually fascinating book for scientists, artists, students, and general readers intrigued by the anxiety and exhilaration of the genetic age." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Divining DNA, by Philip R. Reilly; Deciphering DNA: the art and science of a supermolecule; Reductionism: the body as a "code script" of information; Mutation, manipulation, and monsters: the new grotesque in art; Blurring boundaries: chimeras and transgenics; Breeding better babies: a new eugenics?,; Commodification: genes for sale; Science as culture: through the artist's lens; Lists of artists and their works; Appendix, group art exhibits that focus on genetics concepts.

Synopsis: "Two discussion meetings were held on the impact of advances in human gentics on health care. The project's objectives were to initiate an examination of health care and related problems arising from the use of human molecular genetics for diagnosis of genetic disorders; to identify particular areas of concern; to recommend actions through which foundations and other institutions could have a significant impact; and to disseminate the discussions and conclusions of these discussions. .This reportsynthesizes the discussions and findings of the two meetings. It contains recommendations that demand attention as we move inexorably further into the era of genetically informed medicine. ". Billy Barnes (Cover Photo) (illustratore).…

Hardcover. Reprint. Second printing. xiv, 451 p. Illustrations. Footnotes. Bibliography. Index. The Unfit, by Elof Carlson explores the sources of a movement--negative eugenics--that was used to justify the Holocaust, which claimed millions of innocent lives in World War II. The title reflects the nearly three centuries of belief that some people are socially unfit by virtue of a defective biology, and echoes an earlier theory of degeneracy, dating to biblical antiquity, in which some people were deemed unfit because of some transgression against religious law. The author presents the first biological theory of degeneracy onanism--and then follows the development of degeneracy theory throughout the nineteenth century and its application to a variety of social classes. The key intellectual theories and their proponents form the framework of this exploration, which includes the concepts of evolution and heredity and how they were applied to social problems. These ideas are followed into the twentieth century with the development of theories of positive and negative eugenics, the establishment of compulsory sterilization laws, racism and anti-Semitism, and the Holocaust. This story of misapplied science and technology is one that still haunts humanity in the twenty-first century. The ghost of eugenics recurs in many guises during debates and controversies about intelligence testing, genetic screening, prenatal diagnosis, gene therapy, new reproductive strategies, and uses of our genomic information. Carlson ends his discussion of the history of humanity in this arena with an exploration of the future of genetics that is base on new technologies and application of the Human Genome Project findings, as well as a discussion of the death of the old eugenics and of the problemsthat will not go away, including our ambivalence about our own biology.
