Book Description

Der rasante Erkenntnisgewinn der letzten Jahrzehnte über Entstehung und Verlauf vieler Erkrankungen stellt unser Wissen auf eine neue Grundlage und eröffnet viel versprechende Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten präventiver und diagnostischer Verfahren und Therapien. Gleichzeitig dringt diese Forschung in Bereiche vor, die das Grundverständnis vom Menschsein tangieren, und uns zwingt, jene Begriffe neu zu überdenken, die für unser menschliches Selbstverständnis essentiell sind. An welchen normativen Kriterien sollen wir uns orientieren, um zwischen moralisch vertretbaren und moralisch verwerflichen Technikanwendungen sinnvoll unterscheiden zu können?

From the supplier: Two Nobel Prize winners are urging research and development projects that could help feed the increasing world population. International Council of Scientific Unions head Werner Arber asked the World Bank to finance genetic engineering researches. Similarly, Norman Borlaug pushes for agricultural research in developed countries whose interest in such projects has slackened due to the overabundance of food. It is apparent that environmental groups deter the growth of biotechnology which will be helpful in producing food for the world's hungry populace.
