Description
Unraveling the mystery of stem cells, Wesley J. Smith illuminates what’s on the line in the controversy over using them for research. He describes the emerging science of human cloning—the most radical technology in history—and shows how it moves forward inexorably against the moral consensus of the world. But at the core of this highly readable and carefully researched book is a report on the gargantuan “Big Biotech” industry and its supporters in the universities and the science and bioethics establishments.
First Sentence
"THE THEME OF BRAVE NEW WORLD is not the advancement of science as such," Aldous Huxley wrote in the foreword to a new 1946 edition of his groundbreaking novel, but rather "the advancement of science as it affects human individuals."
Description
"In addition to explaining the science of stem cells this highly readable and carefully researched book reports on the gargantuan "Big Biotech" industry and its supporters in the universities and in the science and bioethics establishments. Smith reveals how this lobby works and how the ideology of "scientism," mixed with the lure of riches, threatens to impose on society a "new eugenics" that would dismantle ethical norms and compromise the uniqueness and importance of all human life."--Jacket.
