Description - The Biotech Century: The Coming Age of Genetic Commerce by Jeremy Rifkin
In the "biotech" century, the author predicts that food may be grown indoors in giant bacteria baths, eliminating the need for farmers and soil; children may be gestated in artificial wombs outside the body; people may be stereotyped and discriminated against on the basis of their genotype, leading to a "genotocracy" and widespread acceptance of eugenics; and the environment may be devastated by genetic engineering, biological weapons and the depletion of the earth's gene pool, which is fast becoming patented intellectual property controlled by a handful of life-science corporations. In a chilling, but stimulating "wake-up" call, the author offers a controversial analysis of the genetic revolution.
