New reproductive technologies now enable parents to select some genetic traits for their children, and soon it will be possible to begin to shape ourselves as a species. Despite the loud cries of alarm that such a prospect inspires, Ronald Green argues that we will, and we should, undertake the direction of our own evolution. A leader in the bioethics community, Green offers a scientifically and ethically informed view of human genetic self modification and the possibilities it opens up for a better future. Fears of a terrible Brave New World or a new eugenics movement are overblown, he maintains, and in the more likely future, genetic modifications may improve parents' ability to enhance children's lives and may even promote social justice. The author outlines the new capabilities of genomic science, addresses urgent questions of safety that genetic interventions pose, and explores questions of parenting and justice. He also examines the religious implications of gene modification. Babies by design are assuredly in the future, Green concludes, and by making responsible choices as we enter that future, we can incorporate gene technology in a new age of human adventure. 650 0 $a Medical genetics $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Genetic engineering $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Human reproductive technology $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Prenatal diagnosis $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Genetic disorders in children $x Moral and ethical aspects. $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Genetic counseling $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 12 $a Genetic Engineering $x ethics $v Personal Narratives. 650 22 $a Genetics, Medical $x ethics $v Personal Narratives. 650 22 $a Religion and Medicine $v Personal Narratives. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0718/2007019927.html 941 $a 17 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430011453.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718084341.0 952 $l LTAX046 $d 20220805011507.0 952 $l I6OX771 $d 20220719010618.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508014339.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926091226.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20190328030523.0 952 $l N4AX745 $d 20180808035456.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171205014725.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20140415020409.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20090708133753.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3F9282E42B1111DE9FAE8B08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOJInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
