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. 606 $aMedical genetics$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aGenetic engineering$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aHuman reproductive technology$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aPrenatal diagnosis$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aGenetic disorders in children$xMoral and ethical aspects$xPrevention 606 $aGenetic counseling$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aGenetic Techniques 606 $aMorals 606 $aReligion 606 $aGenetics 606 $aMedicine 606 $aPsychology, Social 606 $aHumanities 606 $aHealth Occupations 606 $aInvestigative Techniques 606 $aBiology 606 $aBiological Science Disciplines 606 $aAnalytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment 606 $aDisciplines and Occupations 606 $aBehavior and Behavior Mechanisms 606 $aNatural Science Disciplines 606 $aPsychiatry and Psychology 606 $aGenetics, Medical 606 $aEthics 606 $aGenetic Engineering 606 $aReligion and Medicine 606 $aMedicine$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aPathology$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books.$2lcsh 615 0$aMedical genetics$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aGenetic engineering$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aHuman reproductive technology$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aPrenatal diagnosis$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aGenetic disorders in children$xMoral and ethical aspects$xPrevention 615 0$aGenetic counseling$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 2$aGenetic Techniques 615 2$aMorals 615 2$aReligion 615 2$aGenetics 615 2$aMedicine 615 2$aPsychology, Social 615 2$aHumanities 615 2$aHealth Occupations 615 2$aInvestigative Techniques 615 2$aBiology 615 2$aBiological Science Disciplines 615 2$aAnalytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment 615 2$aDisciplines and Occupations 615 2$aBehavior and Behavior Mechanisms 615 2$aNatural Science Disciplines 615 2$aPsychiatry and Psychology 615 2$aGenetics, Medical 615 2$aEthics 615 2$aGenetic Engineering 615 2$aReligion and Medicine 615 7$aMedicine 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 615 7$aPathology 676 $a174.2 700 $aGreen$b Ronald M.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0116395 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452849403321 996 $aBabies by Design$92452770 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$47.60$u12/02/2016$5Pharm
