2.0 out of 5 stars I was hoping for more from this book, 8 May 2009

By	Dancer (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Babies by Design: The Ethics of Genetic Choice (Paperback)

I was hoping for more insight into what was likely to be possible, and the real ethical dilemmas we will face in the near future. Instead the book is largely dedicated to quelling the fears of the forces of reaction. I fairly sure that that is wasted effort. The culture wars in the US will reach an insane pitch when medical technology gives us the ability to more directly determine the genes of our children, and frankly logic is not going to hold the day.

That said I can see the wisdom in trying to get the first word in before the screaming starts. If this work manages to reach reasonable people and inform them, it is a very worthy exercise. However I have not fears to quell, just a genuine interest in the possibilities, and so Babies by Design was not suitable for me
