In Genes We Trust: Germline Engineering, Eugenics, and the Future of the Human Genome
15 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
Liberal proponents of genetic engineering maintain that developing human germline modification technologies is morally desirable because it will result in a net improvement in human health and well-being. Skeptics of germline modification, in contrast, fear evolutionary harms that could flow from intervening in the human germline, and worry that such programs, even if well intentioned, could lead to a...
