Designs on Nature: Science and Democracy in Europe and the United StatesPrinceton University Press, 27 jun 2011 - 392 páginas Biology and politics have converged today across much of the industrialized world.

Less noticed, but no less important, are the rifts that have appeared among leading Western nations about the right way to govern innovation in genetics and biotechnology. These significant differences in law and policy, and in ethical analysis, may in a globalizing world act as obstacles to free trade, scientific inquiry, and shared understandings of human dignity. |
