The title Abraham Lincoln’s DNA is a somewhat obvious lure to get readers for
Philip Reilly’s excellently organised book on genetics. It’s a sequence of real
cases—criminal, medical and legal— concerning genetics, each taking
the field a little further. Here are the benefits, the drawbacks and the ethical
problems. Dispassionate, and far from the slick judgements of “Frankenstein
foods†type. Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, £19, ISBN
0879695803.
