Description
This collection of essays explores the intersection of reproductive technology and genetic engineering, sparking debate between science and society. Leading experts in the field examine the nature and goals of test tube reproduction and genetic engineering, as well as their eugenic implications.
Other papers delve into the legal and ethical issues raised by these developments, considering both secular moral philosophy and theological perspectives. The book's extended commentary offers a unique social ethic framework, distinct from the individualist approach taken in the Warnock Report.
Through its diverse range of viewpoints, this volume provides a nuanced examination of the complex questions surrounding reproductive technology and genetic engineering.
