|
"As the purposeful design of children's genomes is now becoming a technical possibility, before we are prepared to fully understand the consequences of the choices that can be made, this book provides an accessible yet accurate description of what we know about human genetics, and critically, what we do not know, as well as some of the things we must be careful about as we move into an era where increasing numbers of parents exercise direct control over the genetic makeup of their offspring"-- |
