Wrestling with Behavioral Genetics: Science, Ethics, and Public Conversation Hardcover - 2005

by Erik Parens (Editor); Audrey R. Chapman (Editor); Nancy Press (Editor)


From the publisher

Hardly a month goes by without a media report proclaiming thatresearchers have discovered the gene for some complex human behavioror trait - intelligence, dyslexia, shyness, homosexuality. The practicalimplications of genetic research can bring great good - relieving parentsof self-blame for a child's schizophrenia or autism and possibly treatinggenetic diseases in the future. Other findings - or perniciousinterpretations of them - can cause great harm, for example, byestablishing flawed connections between genetics, race, andeducational attainment. Wrestling with Behavioral Genetics bringstogether an interdisciplinary group of contributors - human geneticists, humanists, social scientists, lawyers, and journalists - to discuss theethical and social implications of behavioral genetics research

First line

Though concepts like gene and environment are widely used both in science and in public discourse, they sometimes have special meanings in behavioral genetics.
