Opis

This book considers the existing scientific, legal, and political regulatory regimes that pertain to gene editing. By exploring such a range of potential applications of gene editing – not only biomedical, but also agricultural and ecological – the book reveals numerous crossovers and disjunctions between approaches to the human and the nonhuman.
