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. The collection aims to improve
understanding of ethical, legal, social and political issues surrounding
freedom of scientific research and evaluates ways in which national and
international policies can impact upon individuals' access to cures and
technologies, and change forever human life, death, and flourishing.
With contributions from Nobel Laureates, representatives of patients'
associations, scientists, scholars and politicians, Scientific Freedom
provides a concise and comprehensive view of the limitations and dangers
facing the future of innovation and scientific progress. Simona
