This revised edition updates Thompson’s trail-blazing study of ethical and philosophical issues raised by biotechnology.
This title was first published in 2000. This work documents an international and interdisciplinary workshop on the ethical aspects of the patenting of biotechnological inventions, including genes, plants and animals.
In Science and Ethics, Bernard Rollin examines the ideology that denies the relevance of ethics to science.
This book is unlike others on the emotionally charged subject of the moral and social issues raised by genetically engineering animals.
The book locates the source of this divide in differing framing assumptions: reductionist pluralist on one side, holist communitarian on the other.
First published in 1998, this volume why and how genetic engineering has emerged as the technology most likely to change our lives, for better or worse, in the opening century of the third millennium.
Among those to whom the book will be of particular interest are practitioners of animal biotechnology, and those whose interest lies in assessing its credentials, such as philosophers and social or political scientists.
In Can Animals be Moral?, philosopher Mark Rowlands examines the reasoning of philosophers and scientists on this question--ranging from Aristotle and Kant to Hume and Darwin--and reveals that their arguments fall far short of compelling.
Young people are talking about complex issues, such as animal rights and cloning, and bring their views to bear in the classroom.
