The Creation Machine: New Organisms, Genome Editing, and Lab-Made Hamburgers
14.99 €
Synthetic biology will transform our understanding of family ties, the timing of our aging, what we heal, where we live and what we eat. From mRNA vaccines and diagnosing congenital diseases in embryos to lab-grown meat that tastes almost indistinguishable from the real thing, this burgeoning field, which uses computers to correct and modify the genetic code, has already developed revolutionary solutions. It gives us a chance to tackle global threats - climate change, food shortages and the energy crisis.
But it also carries serious risks. Is it acceptable to release genetically modified organisms into the wild? Should there be limits to the enhancement of the human body? What cyberbiological dangers do we face? Could the coming war using specially engineered bacteria and viruses lead to mass extinction? Amy Webb and Andrew Gessel thrillingly describe the present and future of synthetic biology, helping us to think about the moral dilemmas associated with the purposeful engineering of life and the grandiose prospects it holds for us.
