| Annotation | Modern science is at a crossroad, with the tools to understand - and even to effect basic changes in - the biology of living beings. What is the promise, and what are the challenges for an ageing population? Top scientists in the field explain and provide perspective on the latest revolutionary advances in genetics. Subjects discussed include: the Swedish twin studies; alleles; replicative senescence; genetic screening in Alzheimer's disease (AD); cloning techniques and applications in human health; ethical issues; and implications for public policy.
