Human enhancement, Harris argues, is a good thing--good morally, good for individuals, good as social policy, and good for a genetic heritage that needs serious improvement. Enhancing Evolution defends biotechnological interventions that could allow us to live longer, healthier, and even happier lives by, for example, providing us with immunity from cancer and HIV/AIDS. Further, Harris champions the possibility of influencing the very course of evolution to give us increased mental and physical powers--from reasoning, concentration, and memory to strength, stamina, and reaction speed. Indeed, he says, it's not only morally defensible to enhance ourselves; in some cases, it's morally obligatory. In a new preface, Harris offers a glimpse at the new science and technology to come, equipping readers with the knowledge to assess the ethics and policy dimensions of future forms of human enhancement. 606 $aHuman genetics$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aGenetic engineering$xMoral and ethical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman genetics$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aGenetic engineering$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a174.9599935 686 $aCC 7264$2rvk 700 $aHarris$b John$f1945-$0729920 702 $aRayner$b Steve$4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUMA.HUM 801 2$bUMA.RE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465334803321 996 $aEnhancing evolution$92473900 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02537nam0 2200505 i 450 001 TO00990168 005 20251003044409.0 010 $a8846432371 020 $aIT$b2002-8838 020 $aIT$b8846432371 100 $a20100201d2001 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $aita 102 $ait 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 183 1$6z01$anc$2RDAcarrier 200 1 $aCrescita regionale ed urbana nel mercato globale: modelli, politiche, processi di valutazione$fa cura di Fabio Mazzola e Mario A.
