- Summary
- This new volume of the Controversies in Science and Technology series explores five of the most controversial scientific issues facing our world today. This collection of essays addresses stem cell research, information technology, space exploration, global warming, and biology and gender. These issues challenge our beliefs about each other, our planet, societal fairness, the concept of "knowing," and the definition of human life itself. - Publisher.
