The book contributes chapters on the basics of genetic engineering, on applications of the technology to attempt to solve problems of greater importance to both society and industry, and comes to a close by reminding us of the moral responsibility we have to always keep in mind, that nature is a very fragile equilibrium and that we have already put it at risk. We should always pay attention to the ethical, moral and environmental consequences of applications that have not been tested enough in the laboratory and in controlled field facilities to avoid unexpected and unintentional harm to our and other species and as well as the environment.
