Description
Summary:Ira Carmen seeks a fusion of experimental biological research and political science research as he explores the important and controversial realm of human genomics.<br> Politics in the Laboratory takes a close look at the ethical, legal, social, constitutional, and political implications of modern biological research. It addresses both biopolicy issues and basic science--including cloning, embryonic stem cell investigations, and experimentation involving the human germline--from the perspective of a political scientist.
