Synthetic Biology 2020: Frontiers in Risk Analysis and Governance by Benjamin D. TrumpEnglish | EPUB | 2020 | 421 Pages | ISBN : 303027263X | 21.22 MB
Synthetic biology offers powerful remedies for some of the world’s most intractable problems, but these solutions are clouded by uncertainty and risk that few strategies are available to address. The incentives for continued development of this emerging technology are prodigious and obvious, and the public deserves assurances that all potential downsides are duly considered and minimized accordingly. Incorporating social science analysis within the innovation process may impose constraints, but its simultaneous support in making the end products more acceptable to society at large should be considered a worthy trade-off.
