科学家们正在竞相解开我们DNA序列中的生命密码。但一旦我们知道了密码，我们就能知道生命的意义了吗？我们会知道如何处理我们将拥有的强大信息吗？芭芭拉·卡茨·罗斯曼考察了遗传学研究在种族、疾病和生殖方面的当前趋势和应用。作为一名社会学家，她研究了母亲和女性在产前基因检测方面的经历，她参与了遗传学生物伦理讨论的新世界，以及她作为一个跨种族家庭的母亲的个人经历，她在工作中探索了新的遗传学。她的书旨在帮助读者思考基因科学在我们生活中的地位，它在我们的社会世界中的作用，以及我们如何选择思考思考人类生活本身。
Scientists are racing to unravel the code of life in our DNA sequences. But once we know the code, will we know what life means? Will we know what to do with the powerful information we will have? Barbara Katz Rothman examines the current trends and applications of genetics research on race, illness and procreation. She explores new genetics in the light of her work as a sociologist who has studied motherhood and women's experiences with prenatal genetic testing, her participation in the new world of bioethical discussions of genetics, and her personal experiences as a mother in an interracial family. Her book aims to help the reader think about the place of genetic science in our own lives, its role in our social world and how we choose to think about think about human life itself.
