Abstract

*Plant Biotechnology: Current and Future Uses of Genetically Modified Crops* covers in detail the development, use and regulation of GM crops. Split into three sections, Part 1 introduces GM crops and describes the GM crops that are used commercially. Part 2 looks at new developments and methodologies in areas including potential applications of GM crops for the production of vaccines, enhanced nutritional value of GM food, and engineering resistance to fungal pathogens. Part 3 concludes by considering the key issues of safety and legislation, including allergenicity, environmental impacts, risk assessment and labelling.

**Key features:**

- Covers the topic in depth and addresses key subject areas
- Takes a broad view of the current situation in different countries
- Examines the commercial application of plant biotechnology in the USA and China
- Covers two major areas of public concern: allergenicity and gene flow
- Covers new developments in plant research, safety and legislation aspects

Abstract

Is it right to use biomedical technologies to make us better than well or even perhaps better than human? Should we view our biology as fixed or should we try to improve on it? College students are already taking cognitive enhancement drugs. The U.S. army is already working to develop drugs and technologies to produce ""super soldiers."" Scientists already know how to use genetic engineering techniques to enhance the strength and memories of mice and the application of such technologies to humans is on the horizon. In Better Than Human, philosopher-bioethicist Allen Buchanan grapples with the
