Summary

• Recent and ongoing advances in DNA technology offer unprecedented promise for our immediate future as well as for the long term ... At what point might our capabilities subjugate our principles? When we tinker with genetic codes encrypted and refined over hundreds of thousands of years, are we corrupting the very essence of humanity? [This book] shows why it is a necessary one - and what is being done to see it accomplished.-Dust jacket.
