Jesse Bullington: IMG Abash'd the Devil Stood

0 comments By Jesse Bullington

I don't believe in evil. It's a word I use, certainly, because words are shortcuts and we all take the short way round from time to time, but that's... Continue »

Germ-Line Intervention & Our Responsibilities to Future Generations

by Emmanuel Agius

Germ-Line Intervention & Our Responsibilities to Future Generations Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In contemporary ethical discussion widespread concern about the potential risks of genetic engineering is raising new and fundamental questions about our responsibilities towards unborn generations. Newly acquired knowledge in genetic engineering techniques has brought about not only potential benefits but also immense risks for the well-being of both present and future generations. This book raises a number of ethical issues concerning the impact of genetic engineering on generations yet to be born. The four topical areas that constitute the focus of the volume, namely (1) from laboratory to germ-line therapy, (2) the concept of human nature: theological and secular perspectives, (3) genetic intervention and the common heritage view, and (4) social responsibilities of geneticists towards future generations, raise intriguing ethical and legal questions, as well as important policy issues. As much as any set of issues, they reflect the hopes and fears, prejudices and uncertainties that people associate with germ-line intervention and the future of human kind.

Book News Annotation:

Contributors explore ethical issues concerning the impact of genetic engineering on generations yet to be born, in sections on from laboratory to germ-line therapy; theological and secular perspectives of the concept of human nature; genetic interventions and the common heritage view; and social responsibilities of geneticists toward future generations. Specific topics include moral reasoning in bioethics, the human germ-line as a global human resource, and the unknowable effects of genetic interventions on future generations.
