About the Book
The Double-Edged Helix by Alper provides a thought-provoking examination of the societal and medical impacts of recent genetic discoveries. Delving into the ethical and medical ramifications of genetic research, the book explores how these technologies affect various population groups, including minorities, individuals with disabilities, and those from diverse sexual orientations.
In this work, the authors present a balanced view by highlighting both the potential benefits and dangers of genetic research. It is a crucial text for anyone interested in the ethical dimensions of science and technology, particularly as it pertains to genetics and its application in society.
The book emphasizes the importance of ensuring that advancements in genetic research do not lead to discrimination based on an individual’s genetic makeup. Through a series of perspectives, The Double-Edged Helix calls for a careful and inclusive approach to the future of genetics to avoid marginalizing vulnerable groups.
