My sources
1. Hawthorne, Fran. Inside the FDA: The Business and Politics Behind the Drugs We Take and the Food We Eat. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley and sons, 2005.
Inside the FDA talks about how the administration works and what it does. It mentions how the FDA handled its first encounter with Embryonic Stem-Cell research. It also talks about how the FDA deals with things like genetically engineered food and how dangerous drugs get past the FDA's safety measures. Inside the FDA explains why the role of the FDA is going beyond science and into politics and public policy. This book seems like a very helpful source. The author of the book is a health care and business expert who includes interviews with FDA employees. The material seems objective and informative talking about the past, present, and future of the FDA.
2. Messina, Lynn, ed. Biotechnology. New York: The H.W. Wilson Company, 2000.
Biotechnology is a book made up of a series of articles and excerpts from books. This book talks about the human genome project and the first animal genome. It discusses genetic testing and how DNA testing casts a shadow in adoption. It also talks about clones and the specific cloning of a sheep, and different religious groups against cloning. This source may have some bias sides to if because of religious and other debates.
3. Krimsky, Sheldon and Shorett, Peter, ed. Rights and Liberties in the Biotech Age: Why We Need a Genetic Bill of Rights. New York: Rowman and Littlefield, 2005.
This book discusses the rights of many different scientific aspects. It explains the right to biodiversity, GE-free food, and fetuses. This is a very objective source containing two sides of the idea of a new Genetic Bill of Rights.
4. "Food". Greenpeace International. 25 November 2007<http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/genetic-engineering/food>.
This is a webpage that talks about the risks of genetically engineered food. It says that many countries have cleared GE foods off of the shelves of their supermarkets but consumers in europe are still fighting for GE free foods.
