This reader is a spin-off publication from Law, Science and Medicine, Third Edition. It gives students a fascinating and stimulating set of readings that introduces them to the way law and science shape society from the use and misuse of genetic information, to religion and science, to artificial intelligence, and beyond. This publication gives undergraduates direct and accessible access to the actual cases, statutes, and articles that shape society's relationship to science. The readings on controversial issues--such as genetic research or creationism vs. evolution--will spark lively discussion and intense intellectual engagement.
