A consideration of the ethical impact of genetics on society and future generations, as well as information on assisted reproduction round out the overview. It includes over 100 illustrations and photos of specific genetic disorders; tables and figures on the distribution of disease; and an extensive appendix listing associations, organizations, and websites relevant to genetics.| SKU | Unavailable |
