Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity

This is a book which one should pickup to get full view of how; possibly humans are playing God by deciphering, altering and utilizing eternal code of life- DNA..All over the world there is exponential progress in the field of genetic engineering which is making possible, mastering of techniques like producing eggs from somatic cells, growing organs in lab, repairing genetic defects and producing engineered embryos..Book is big testament in the field of genetic engineering and stem cell research. It is engaging, interesting and informative with very less jargon..Its breadth of topics is staggering and it covers extremely wide range of information from prehistorical times to latest research in the field of Dna editing and eugenics..Not only does book informs but also forces reader to think and imagine possible scenarios possible..It compares past with present and then with future intelligently..Author has deep knowledge in this field and all great scientists around the world who are working in labs tirelessly, get a appreciative mention...Their is criticism to ever failing human intentions including deterimental effects of Trump's decisions on fields of research and environmental conservation...This is the book that is sufficient for gathering Last 50 years of relevant information in the field of human experimentation with our DNA...Highly recommend work for science buffs, especially you will love it if you have medical background..Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy in exchange of honest review.

Note: As I am a YouTube book reviewer, this review is part of by Vlog/Blog.This book has everything that people like you and me need to know about genetic engineering and its impact on our life. The book is written for readers who have minimum or no understanding of biology. It’s easy to understand and thought provokingIn very near future your doctor would recommend to modify your child’s jeans to eliminate or reduce the risk of possible inherited disease. And you must be prepared. Scientists are working to create super humans with special abilities. And you must read this book to understand its impact on your life.The Author not only talks about the future of genetic technology but also the international politics and competition.

Very informative with up to date information. Clearly this is one of the few ways that will enable us to break free from the limits and purpose of primitive biological evolution. That this will produce greatly enhanced and even new species of humans is to be welcomed.

I liked it VERY much in fact I have just finished reading it for the second time.A fascinating subject and well written.Highly Recommend

An excellent account of the research being undertaken, and the benefits and possible negative consequences of the speedy progress being made in this important field of research. Research that relies heavily on artificial intelligence to crunch the huge amount of statistics involved. Written with insight and humour by someone who has studied the material, which is comprehensive and prolific, with thoughtful comments on good and bad consequences that may arise as progress is made.

Nothing great. More of a story than anything. Would recommend for those who have very little knowledge on the subject (genetics and gene tech)

enjoyable and fascinating
