Babies by Design by Ronald M Green
New reproductive technologies 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, the author argues that we will, and we should, undertake the direction of our own evolution.
"'In this clear-eyed and generally optimistic book, both promise and risk are ably weighed and balancedThe science is clearly explained, and there are signposts to help guide us through the moral maze.' Economist"
