This book won the INDIEFAB 2015 Bronze Award for Science (Adult
nonfiction).
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) including plants and the foods
made from them, are a hot topic of debate today, but soon related
technology could go much further and literally change what it means to
be human. Scientists are on the verge of being able to create people who
are GMOs.
Should they do it? Could we become a healthier and 'better' species or
might eugenics go viral leading to a real, new world of genetic
dystopia? GMO Sapiens tackles such questions by taking a fresh look at
the cutting-edge biotech discoveries that have made genetically modified
people possible.
Bioengineering, genomics, synthetic biology, and stem cells are changing
sci-fi into reality before our eyes. This book will capture your
imagination with its clear, approachable writing style. It will draw you
into the fascinating discussion of the life-changing science of human
genetic modification.
