Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has declared that if he could do it over again, he would be 'working in biotechnology'. That is because no area of science is moving faster nor will have a greater impact. This is the first book to explain what biotechnology is all about and to describe the amazing scientific advances that have already been made. Fumento shows how biotechnology is changing our lives and will do so even more dramatically in the near future. Reporting from the ground zero of experimentation and clinical trials, Fumento shows how biotechnology has already demonstrated the potential to cure almost any disease, extend human lifespans well past the 120-year range, and wipe out not only famine but malnutrition while using less land, less water, and fewer chemicals. This book is science fact. The biotechnical advances it describes are already happening and will come to fruition in the next decade. Michael Fumento shows that the future is now.
