When I purchased this book, I was fully expecting a conversation on the ethics of genetic engineering and various biotechnologies. I figured it would broach topics such as where the stopping point was in between acceptable things like gene therapy and unacceptable things like genetically modifying entire human embryos. As a scientist, researcher, and graduate student who works with genetics in my lab, such considerations would be valuable to me and my studies, yet this book does not go there. Instead, it provides a sharp criticism of any form of genetic modification from a severely scientifically uneducated standpoint, often confusing or incorrectly stating information. While I must take into consideration that this book is from 2002 and has more of a focus on the societal aspects, I cannot excuse their blatant picking-and-choosing mindset, not to mention use of theological and artistic materials as their source of morals.
