WOW! Biology and Politics!

Subtitled "The Limits of Biological Control," an amazing book on this subject matter and way ahead of its time. CHAPTERS: Genetics and the Sense of Self, The Predictive Power of Genetic Knowledge, Expanding the Impact of Genetic Knowledge: Mass Genetic Screening, Legislative Remedies to Abuses of Genetic Knowledge, Heredity Under Control, Nature and Nurture Revisited, The Limits of Genetic Causation, Cutting Through Genetic Determinism, From Clockwork to Quantum, Humanizing the Genetic Enterprise. Whether you agree with the author or not, this is a valuable survey of the subject and issues. Highly recommended.
