Description: Advances in genetics will make it possible to intervene in human biological development in ways that will give us considerable control over our personal properties. This study examines how genes determine our lives, as well as the moral implications implicit in the manipulation of genes.
Synopsis: This work is a sustained philosophical reflection on some of the metaphysical and moral issues presented by genetics and different forms of genetic intervention. Advances in genetics will make it possible to intervene in human biological development in ways that will give us considerable control over our personal properties and the length and quality of our lives, and the lives of those we bring into existence. This study examines how genes determine our lives, as well as the moral implications implicit in the manipulation of genes: how will intervention benefit or harm the people we cause to exist in the near future?
