Bovine somatotropin, or bST, a growth hormone genetically engineered to increase milk production in dairy cows, highlights the controversial issues of biotechnology and its widespread use. Focusing on the problems inherent in new and radically different technologies, this book develops a methodology for examining bST and other biotechnological developments like it, from production to consumption and from research to public policy.
