Book Description
Scientific Freedom represents the first comprehensive anthology of essays designed to explore both the state of scientific progress and the ethics, law and history of scientific research. The book gives readers a fascinating range of perspectives on matters of scientific research that directly affect each and every one of us.
Examining the ethical, legal, social and political issues surrounding freedom of scientific research, the book evaluates ways in which national and international policies can impact upon individuals’ access to cures and technologies, and can therefore affect human life and death.
With contributions from Nobel Laureates, representatives of patients’ associations, scientists, scholars and politicians, this book provides a concise and comprehensive view of the limitations and dangers facing the future of innovation and scientific progress.
