Synthetic Biology: Metaphors, Worldviews, Ethics, and Law: Technikzukünfte, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft / Futures of Technology, Science and Society

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2015

Assessing synthetic biology from a societal and ethical perspective is not only a matter of determining possible harms and benefits of synthetic biology applications. Synthetic biology also incorporates a specific technoscientific understanding of its research agenda and its research objects that has philosophical and ethical implications. This edited volume sets out to explore and evaluate these synthetic biology worldviews and it proposes appropriate governance measures. In addition, legal challenges are discussed.
