This book presents work that has been conducted as part of the research project "e;Discourse on ethical questions of biomedicine"e; of the interdisciplinary Working Group Bioethics and Science Communication at the Max-Delbrueck-Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC)in Berlin-Buch, Germany.
Genetic approaches have revolutionized our understanding of the fundamental causes of human disease by permitting the identification of specific genes in which variation causes or contributes to susceptibility to, or protection from, disease.
In the nearly 60 years since Watson and Crick proposed the double helical structure of DNA, the molecule of heredity, waves of discoveries have made genetics the most thrilling field in the sciences.
En su vertiginoso avance, la biotecnología suscita constantemente retos morales que cada quien debe enfrentar por sí mismo, tarea nada fácil en un sistema que privilegia la uniformidad acrítica sobre la individualidad crítica.
