Praise for the previous edition:
In recent years, resources on cloning and genetics have saturated the market, but this one is really special. In one comprehensive volumethe ultimate resource for students, teachers, and library media specialistsa fact-finder's dreamFor small or large collections, this will be an excellent starting point for almost any research on the topic.—"Booklist"

As you may infer from my rating, I am deeply interested in this subject, biotech/genetic engineering. How soon is it until we see almost entirely a robotic society?
However, the book itself was published a long while ago, if you are thinking in terms of computer science, so quite a few things have happened in this rapidly-evolving field.
This small book describes just a few issues in these fields. I did not finish the book since I researched online the topics that interested me to see what was happening in them specifically, such as biological patenting, and the Supreme Court ruling of Diamond v. Chakrabarty. You have to read on (or research, whichever method gets you more useful information faster) to see how it concludes!
I was pondering the term "alluvium" over "field" just in case the focus of this review was getting old to you, too. But I think you might know what I mean. Area of expertise...

Good information, but missing current developments in biotech.
