BIOETHICS OF DESIGNER CHILDREN
This ethical inquiry into the use of biotechnologies to determine the sex of children and to improve their skills or traits is structured around the desires and goals of human beings from the perspective of human experience and human aspirations. Takes a look at the big picture of biotechnologies available, some of hidden costs of success, some of the effects on the individual and society and the implications to the practice of medicine. Emphasis is on concerns about use of biotechnology beyond that of treating disease. Reference: Beyond Therapy: Biotechnology and the Pursuit of Happiness.
