Babies by Design : The Ethics of Genetic Choice Green, Ronald M.
New Haven, CT USA Yale University Press 2007 0300125461 1st Edition/1st Printing Hard Copy New New 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Yale University Press, New Haven, 2007. 1st edition/1st printing. Book is New; not a remainder. From the publisher: "We stand on the brink of unprecedented growth in our ability to understand and change the human genome. New reproductive technologies now enable parents to select some genetic traits for their children, and soon it will be possible to begin to shape ourselves as a species. Despite the loud cries of alarm that such a prospect inspires, Ronald Green argues that we will--and we should--undertake the direction of our own evolution. A leader in the bioethics community, Green offers a scientifically and ethically informed view of human genetic self-modification and the possibilities it opens up for a better future. Fears of a terrible Brave New World or a new eugenics movement are overblown, he maintains, and in the more likely future, genetic modifications may improve parents’ ability to enhance children’s lives and may even promote social justice. The author outlines the new capabilities of genomic science, addresses urgent questions of safety that genetic interventions pose, and explores questions of parenting and justice. He also examines the religious implications of gene modification. Babies by design are assuredly in the future, Green concludes, and by making responsible choices as we enter that future, we can incorporate gene technology in a new age of human adventure."

'The Clackamas is Nietzchesque in the sense that it is an attempt in a reversal of values. Its intention is to exalt the trivial, the trivial as significant event. It is an effort to understand and explore the female source." Book is in Very Good+ condition - light general wear. Gift wrap and gift card available.

The writer, Herr F. Hartlieb, went in the ordinary course of his duty to inspect the School on behalf of the Ministry of Education of the State of Wurtemberg. The official report of Herr Hartlieb is naturally not available for publication; but the following article, translated by kind permission from the Wurtembergische Lahrezeitung of October, 1926, indicates the impression made upon this official School Inspector by the spirit and practice of the School. It thereby affords an approach to throse educational principles which the Rudolf Steiner Educational Society exists to further."
