Dna Patenting Has Emerged As A Hot Topic In Science Policy And Bioethics As Private Companies And Government Agencies Spend Billions Of Dollars On Genetic Research And Development In A Race To Identify, Sequence, And Analyze Dna From Human, Animal, And Plant Species. David B. Resnik's Owning The Genome Explores The Ethical, Social, Philosophical, Theological, And Policy Issues Surrounding Dna Patenting And Develops A Comprehensive Approach To The Topic.
