The first two editions of this book, published as Food Biotechnology in Ethical Perspective in 1997 and 2007, were the first comprehensive philosophical studies of genetic engineering applied to food systems. The book is structured with chapter length treatments of risk in four categories: food safety, to animals, to the environment and socio-economic risks. These chapters are preceded by two chapters providing orientation to the uses of gene technology in food and agriculture, and to the goals, methods and background assumptions of technological ethics. There is also a chapter covering all four types of risk as applied to the first US technology, recombinant bovine somatotropin. The last four chapters take up 1) intellectual property debates, 2) religious, metaphysical and “intrinsic” objections to biotechnology, 3) issues in risk and trust and 4) a review of ethical issues in synthetic biology, gene editing and gene drives, the three key technologies that have emerged | 出版日期 | Book 2020Latest edition | 关键词 | genetic engineering; agricultural and food ethics; risk analysis; food production; ethics of food produc | 版次 | 3 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-61214-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-61216-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-61214-6Series ISSN 1570-3010 Series E-ISSN 2215-1737 | issn_series | 1570-3010 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
