More DescriptionCan our DNA predict our future health? What are the dangers of cloning? What would you do about genetically modified food? People look at genetic research and claim that it can cause problems. They say that once certain genetic experiments and procedures are allowed, genetic research might be hard to control. Will the scientists know when to stop? But many people do not agree. They say that genetic research has the chance to create cures for diseases. It might help us feed the hungry. Do we have the right to delay research that could help those suffering from Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease? People have been arguing about genetic research since DNA was discovered. Have you ever thought about genetic research? Are the advantages worth the risks? This book does not tell you what to think. But it will help you join in the debate.
