Perfect for an upper level seminar or course, this casebook traces the legal impacts of genetics across the legal spectrum--from family law to medical law to forensics.

Offers an overview of the scientific advances that have led to the state of genetic enhancement, and explains how these advances can be used to redefine what we think is a normal human being. This title explores the ethical dilemmas already facing researchers and medical practitioners, and the dilemmas we will all be expected to face.

Explains how DNA works, what the Human Genome Project is, what these genetic technologies are and what they promise, and how they could disrupt our democratic society. This book is of interest to those who wish to learn more about the Human Genome Project and the genetic revolution that it may create.
