Looks at issues on the frontiers of medicine including gene therapy to produce 'brave new babies,' human eggs and embryos for sale, and experiments on human embryos. This work argues that the conservatism of the medical establishment, the bioethics community, and the public has created shibboleths that impede improvements in our quality of life.
In this important new book Gregory E. Pence looks at issues on the frontiers of medicine including gene therapy to produce 'brave new babies', cloning, human eggs and embryos for sale and experiments on human embryos.
