For less than the price of a couple of tubes of genetically modified tomato
paste, Phil Gates’s witty Designer Genes provides an antidote to the unthinking
acceptance of biotechnology. Though aimed at teenagers, it could improve
parents’ understanding of the ethical issues raised by genetic
engineering—as long as they enjoy puns. Published by Scholastic Press,
£3.99, ISBN 0590190172.
