Issue 91: Sass, Hans-Martin: Ethische und bioethische Herausforderungen molekulargenetischer Prädiktion und Manipulation. 1st edition: March 1994; 2nd edition: June 1994

 
Technical and moral risk associated with information and prediction and manipulation of nature are age-old essential components of human culture and cultivating. Contrary to fashionable post-modern technophobic predictions, genetic information and manipulation pose no totally new ethical or bioethical challenge to humankind's attitudes of cultivating nature; but sharper instruments call for sharpness in moral and cultural assessment and application. Seven theses discuss the scope of potential benefit and potential harm of molecular genetics to nature, culture, and fellow humans.
