Tina Stevens, Ph.D., is Lecturer Emerita at San Francisco State University, Department of History. She is a co-founder of Alliance for Humane Biotechnology, and the author of Bioethics in America: Origins and Cultural Politics (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000).
Tracing the rise and cultural politics of biotechnology from a critical perspective, Biotech Juggernaut examines the intensifying effort of bioentrepreneurs to apply genetic engineering technologies to the human species. It explains how converging vectors of economic, politic, social, and cultural elements are driving biotechnology's swift advance.
