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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49619845546257,"sku":"GOR002934262","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347882283281,"sku":"CIN0300125461G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51328006947089,"sku":"CIN0300125461VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300125461.jpg?v=1751259644"},{"product_id":"religious-reason-book-ronald-m-green-9780195023893","title":"Religious Reason","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50338723692817,"sku":"CIN0195023897G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0195023897.jpg?v=1751258610"},{"product_id":"religion-and-ethics-in-the-neonatal-intensive-care-unit-book-ronald-m-green-9780190636852","title":"Religion and Ethics in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit","description":"Each year, neonatal Intensive care units (NICUs) in the U.S. and around the world help thousands of sick or premature newborns survive. NICUs are committed to the ideals of family-centered care, which encourages shared decision-making between parents and NICU caregivers. In cases of infants with conditions marked by high mortality, morbidity, or great suffering, family-centered care affirms the right of parents to assist in making decisions regarding aggressive treatment for their infant. Often, these parents' difficult and intimate decisions are shaped profoundly by their religious beliefs. In light of this, what precisely are the teachings of the major world religious traditions about the status and care of the premature or sick newborn? Few studies have grappled with what major religious traditions teach about the care of the newborn or how these teachings may bear on parents' decisions.   This volume seeks to fill this gap, providing information on religious teachings about the newborn to the multidisciplinary teams of NICU professionals (neonatologists, advance practice nurses, social workers), as well as to parents of NICU patients, and students of bioethics. In chapters dealing with Judaism, Catholicism, Denominational Protestantism, Evangelical Protestantism, African American Protestantism, Sunni and Shi'a Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Navajo religion, and Seventh Day Adventism, leading scholars develop the teachings of these traditions on the status, treatment, and ritual accompaniments of care of the premature or sick newborn.  This is an essential book that will serve as a first resort for clinicians who need to understand the religious dynamics influencing anyone making a difficult decision about her sick newborn.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51208287518993,"sku":"NIN9780190636852","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52488756986129,"sku":"NLS9780190636852","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0190636858.jpg?v=1772272266"},{"product_id":"ethical-manager-book-ronald-m-green-9780023464317","title":"The Ethical Manager","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51330904424721,"sku":"CIN0023464313G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52723475939601,"sku":"CIN0023464313VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0023464313.jpg?v=1751258072"},{"product_id":"suffering-and-bioethics-book-ronald-m-green-9780199926176","title":"Suffering and Bioethics","description":"Before curing was a possibility, medicine was devoted to the relief of suffering.

Green invites readers into an intellectual detective story, one that challenges long-standing assumptions about Kierkegaard's relationship to Kant.

Kierkegaard may have intentionally concealed just how much he owed to Kant's thought.Through meticulous historical research and nuanced textual analysis, Green reconstructs the hidden dialogue between these towering figures. By tracing the works Kierkegaard read, mapping points of agreement and tension, and reinterpreting central themes in ethics and religion, \u003ci\u003eKierkegaard and Kant\u003c\/i\u003e offers a striking new perspective on both philosophers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bridging the divide between faith and reason, passion and rationality, Green reveals a Kant whose reflections on morality and evil echo Kierkegaard's most provocative ideas, and a Kierkegaard far more philosophically indebted than previously imagined.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Scholarly yet accessible, this work combines intellectual rigor with narrative elegance, making it essential reading for students of philosophy, theology, and intellectual history.
