Golems Among Us: How A Jewish Legend Can Help Us Navigate The Biotech Century

Mr. Sherwin briefly traces the fascinating history of the golem legend in Western culture, then shows what lessons it holds for us in navigating a safe journey-philosophically, theologically, ethically, and in public policy-through the minefield of twenty-first-century social and biological engineering in which we now stand. A fascinating journey....Sherwin's compassion, humor, and intellect provide a moral compass to help us navigate through astonishing, promising, and sometimes perilous developments in biotechnology. --Lori Andrews
