Summary: A book described well by its title
Comment: This collection of articles, previously published in the journal "Social Philosophy & Policy", are mostly concerned with some of the ethical and policy issues surrounding the outcomes of the Human Genome Prohject, with a couple of articles addressing the computing field.

I found it a most useful collection, with a number of good, well-written (a rarity for philosophers) and thoughtful pieces on patenting and property rights, the relationship between economics and research, political (mis-)direction, and the protection of the weak in areas of genetic-related counselling. I especilly liked the critique of the utilitarian model of patenting.
