Description

Would you change your genes if you could? As we confront the 'industrial revolution of the genome', the recent discoveries of Crispr-Cas9 technologies are offering, for the first time, cheap and effective methods for editing the human genome.

This opens up startling new opportunities as well as significant ethical uncertainty.

Tracing events across a fifty-year period, from the first gene splicing techniques to the present day, this is the story of gene editing - the science, the impact and the potential.

Kozubek weaves together the fascinating stories of many of the scientists involved in the development of gene editing technology.

Along the way, he demystifies how the technology really works and provides vivid and thought-provoking reflections on the continuing ethical debate.

Ultimately, Kozubek places the debate in its historical and scientific context to consider both what drives scientific discovery and the implications of the 'commodification' of life.
