Redesigning Humans by Gregory Stock
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.
