1. The Book Of Questions
A provocative compendium of hypothetical dilemmas and thought experiments designed to provoke reflection on ethics, values and trade-offs in medicine, genetics and emerging technologies; through hundreds of pointed, often uncomfortable questions about reproduction, life extension, genetic modification, organ transplantation, privacy and relationships, it forces readers to confront how they would prioritize competing goods and what moral choices a technologically transformed future might demand.

2. Redesigning Humans
Our Inevitable Genetic Future
A provocative forecast of how advances in biotechnology will make it possible to alter human genes and traits deliberately, shifting the focus from curing disease to enhancing intelligence, longevity, and other characteristics; examines likely social, ethical, economic, and political consequences—including growing inequality, changes in family decision-making, and new forms of choice and responsibility—and urges public discussion and sensible policies to manage the risks and benefits of this emerging era.
