About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This is a very important book. The general public really have no clear idea of what happen in the next twenty years regarding medical care … and the manipulation of life. Fabrice Jotterand has brought … these issues to our attention in a non-dramatic, non-alarmist way … . this book will become a core text for students in the relevant disciplines and I suggest should be compulsory reading for those who in any way involved in policy decision making in the medical health care system." (Rob Harle, Metapsychology Online Reviews, Vol. 13 (19), 2008)
