Description: "This volume is the first to address the diverse range of ethical issues arising from the Human Genome Project. An introduction from the editors provides background on the HGP and its ELSI implications. Interdisciplinary topical essays examine genetic selection; genetic determination; genetic information and privacy; and human evolution and culture. Additional essays, pedagogical in nature, offer sample syllabi and resources to enable professors to bring this critically important topic energetically to life in the classroom."--book jacket.
