Product Description

Product Description

Science fiction has been preoccupied with technologies to control the characteristics of our children since the publication of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World". Current arguments about "designer babies" almost always demand that lines should be drawn and regulations tightened. But where should regulation stop and patient choice in the use of reproductive technology begin? In this book, five contributors set out their arguments. In this text, contrasting approaches to this topical and contentious question are presented by various specialists on the subject. The Institute of Idea's mission is to expand the boundaries of public debate through organizing conferences, discussions and salons, and publishing written conversations and exchanges in a hope to play a part in shaking up a culture that seems to shy away more and more from confrontation and the clash of ideas. This series aims to present thought-provoking arguments.

About the Author

Julie Tizzard, advocate for advances in reproductive medicine. Professor John Harris, ethicist. Veronica English and Ann Somerville of the British Medical Association. Josephine Quintavalle, pro-life spokesperson. Agnes Fletcher, disability rights campaigner.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent range of well informed and persuasive views, 30 Oct 2005
This review is from: Designer Babies: Where Should We Draw the Line? (Debating Matters) (Paperback)
This book is wonderful, giving an informative and factual insight into the variety of perspectives in this highly charged debate. If nothing else this compact and easy to read book gives the reader a solid factual foundation on which to form and develop their own views. A brilliant starting point for any one interested in the debate.
