Summary:"As Lee so wisely and eloquently cautions, there may be perils along this pathway as well as miraculous discoveries. Do dangers lurk in this new technological approach to nature? May we unwittingly be doing irreparable harm to individuals, not to mention the biosphere?

This fascinating and comprehensive volume shows that the time has come to confront our gene future, because our gene future is now."--Jacket.
