Description

WELCOME TO OUR GENETIC WORLD. FAST, FURIOUS, AND OUT OF CONTROL. THIS IS NOT THE WORLD OF THE FUTURE--IT'S THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.

Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why a chimp fetus resembles an adult human being? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction--is it worse than the disease?

We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps; a time when it's possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars and test our spouses for genetic maladies.

We live in a time when one-fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes.

We live in a new world where nothing is what it seems.

THE FUTURE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.
