Informationen zum Autor By Marilyn E. Coors Klappentext In the early stages of genetic modification, we need ethical guidelines more than ever, guidelines that could forebode or decree what is to come. That's where The Matrix comes in. The Inheritable Modification Matrix is the culmination of Marilyn Coors' examination of ethics, religion, and science in the context of human genetic modification. The Matrix identifies virtues, values, and principles that differentiate the beneficial uses of inheritable genetic modification from those that threaten the dignity of human life. A valuable contribution to an emergent branch of bioethics. Bridges Coors offers an admirably clear rendering of the science and a level-headed assessment of the moral issues. Religious Studies Review Much contemplative thought. Recommended. CHOICE The Inheritable Modification Matrix is the culmination of Marilyn Coors' examination of ethics, religion and science in the context of human genetic modification.
