It not only has a doctor as a protagonist (two, if you count the President's wife, a no-longer-practicing pediatrician) and is set in Washington DC with a President who has a rather unusual mindset, but it also discusses a social issue that most of us don't even think about: genetic modification of the food we eat. Frankly, I had never considered the implications of this, but after reading Oath of Office, I certainly will.Sverigehttp://familynothing2dobirth.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041753785577045651.post-51067741353264192402012-01-21T00:20:26.261-05:002012-01-21T00:20:26.261-05:00I find the genetic manipulation of food scary!
