Description: Mutating Concepts, Evolving Disciplines : Genetics, Medicine, and Society, Hardcover by Parker, Lisa S. (EDT); Ankeny, Rachel A. (EDT), ISBN 1402010400, ISBN-13 9781402010408, Brand New, Free shipping in the US All from the US but an Australian exception, the contributors tend to carry portfolios that span boundaries between biological and medical sciences, the history and philosophy of science, and bioethics. They mark the 50th anniversary of the articulation of the double helix and the onset of what enthusiasts hail as The Century of the Gene, by examining the evolution of concepts related to medical genetics; perspectives from the philosophy of science; and ethical, social, and legal consequences. Among specific topics are dissolving dominance, common frameworks of behavior genetics and its rivals, and personal identity and the moral appraisal of prenatal therapy.
