| Summary: | Humans have been modifying plants and animals for millennia. The dawn of molecular genetics, however, has kindled intense public scrutiny and controversy. Crops, and the food products which include them, have dominated molecular modification in agriculture. Organisations have made unsubstantiated claims and scare mongering is common. In this textbook Paul Thompson presents a clear account of the significant issues - identifying harms and benefits, analysing and managing risk - which lie beneath the cacophony of public controversy. His comprehensive analysis looks especially at genetically modified organisms, and includes an explanation of the scientific background, an analysis of ideological objections, a discussion of legal and ethical concerns, a suggested alternative - organic agriculture - and an examination of the controversy's impact on sub-Saharan African countries. His book will be of interest to students and other readers in philosophy, biology, biotechnology and public policy |

In this textbook Paul Thompson presents a clear account of the significant issues - identifying harms and benefits, analysing and managing risk - which lie beneath the cacophony of public controversy. His comprehensive analysis looks especially at genetically modified organisms, and includes an explanation of the scientific background, an analysis of ideological objections, a discussion of legal and ethical concerns, a suggested alternative - organic agriculture - and an examination of the controversy's impact on sub-Saharan African countries. His book will be of interest to students and other readers in philosophy, biology, biotechnology and public policy Ethik Gesellschaft Philosophie Agricultural biotechnology / Philosophy Genetic engineering / Philosophy Agricultural biotechnology / Moral and ethical aspects Genetic engineering / Moral and ethical aspects Agricultural biotechnology / Social aspects Genetic engineering / Social aspects Biotechnologie (DE-588)4069491-4 gnd rswk-swf Bioethik (DE-588)4006791-9 gnd rswk-swf Pflanzenzüchtung (DE-588)4045599-3 gnd rswk-swf Landwirtschaft (DE-588)4034402-2 gnd rswk-swf Biophilosophie (DE-588)4112774-2 gnd rswk-swf Landwirtschaft (DE-588)4034402-2 s Biotechnologie (DE-588)4069491-4 s Bioethik (DE-588)4006791-9 s Biophilosophie (DE-588)4112774-2 s 1\p DE-604 Pflanzenzüchtung (DE-588)4045599-3 s 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-11797-5 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-13375-3 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511977541 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
