Routledge Biotechnology, Education and Life Politics Book

Explore the complex intersection of science and society with Biotechnology, Education and Life Politics. This volume from the Routledge Research in Education series examines the growing impact of reproductive and genetic technologies (RGTs) on our world. As genetic screening becomes more accessible, it raises significant questions about how individuals and communities should respond to these changes. This book looks at the potential shift toward designing future humans through the screening of embryos or more advanced genetic engineering. These developments change our understanding of what is considered normal, acceptable, and responsible. The text addresses the uncertain impact these technologies may have on current and future generations. Designed for those interested in the social and political aspects of biotechnology, this work also investigates how global education systems can adapt to these rapid scientific advancements. It provides a necessary look at the debates surrounding genetic futures, from the classroom to the wider social landscape.
