“…The development of a gene drive for malaria will have far-reaching implications, for it represents the first use of genetic engineering of the natural world and the first creation of a genetic variant intended to spread in the African wild, beyond human control. Drawing on two decades of work, Zoloth brilliantly argues that we can understand the complex moral issues at stake only by carefully reflecting on the science, the nature of the local and global discourse about genetic engineering, and the long history of malaria, which -- as it transformed from a worldwide disease to a tropical one -- reshaped the world as we know it…”
