Redesigning Humans: Choosing Our Genes, Changing Our Future: Our Inevitable Genetic Future (Taschenbuch)
von Gregory Stock


 
Rezensionen:
Will the genetic research that gave us the Flavr Savr tomato also give us the power to customize our children? Medical thinker Gregory Stock believes that this is precisely what's happening and that we'd better get used to it fast.Redesigning Humans: Our Inevitable Genetic Futureexplores gender selection, gene therapy, germinal choice, and many more options available now or in the near future, but lays aside the hysteria common to such discussions.

Stock sees the cloning controversy as a distraction from issues of real importance, such as balancing offspring trait selection against eugenics. Writing with the clarity and precision of a philosopher, Stock engages his readers with thought exercises and real-life examples. While not a brainless cheerleader for big science, he believes that we can, and certainly will, use any means necessary to give our children an edge, even if it means profound changes for our species.Redesigning Humansoffers the hope that these changes need not be catastrophic if we pay attention now.--Rob Lightner-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe:Gebundene Ausgabe
