BIOTECHNOLOGY
Biotechnology Audio & Video
Defined as the integration of natural sciences and engineering sciences, this aspect of technology covers a range of topics which were previously designated to science fiction. Want to learn to live forever? Themes covered in this category range from the future of genetics and cloning to the questions of bioethics that these new biotechnologies raise.

Want to know about the race to map the human genome? "The Genome War" by James Shreeve is the historical tale of genetic discovery, and is available in both abridged and unabridged versions. For genetics and cloning information try the Portable Professor lecture series "Altering the Blueprint", which ingnites debate on the morality of engineering human life.

LearnOutLoud.com also has several other samples that are good for immortality seekers, such as the unabridged title "Cheating Death" by Marvin Cetron available on cassette and MP3 digital download. Our 'Biotechnology' category provides you with audio and video learning resources covering the exciting possibilities and difficult questions that we face as we enter this brave new world.
