New diagnostic imaging systems have made it much easier for doctors to determine the nature of injuries, and new surgical tools mean safer operations and shorter stays in the hospital. Future medicine will likely astound us all. This book tells of the discovery of the genetic sequences of human DNA and what that discovery may mean for treating or eliminating genetically-linked diseases. Also discussed are some of the ethical issues surrounding the use of this technology.
