| Popis: | Summary Suggestions that our Homo sapiens germ line can benefit from a bit of genetic engineering immediately raises spectres of eugenic programs gone horribly awry. It might be the case, however, that some genetic engineering on humans is morally permissible, and in a few instances, obligatory, especially for parents and societies who must pursue future generations’ best interests. Based on normally uncontentious premises – no harm, enabling thriving, and promoting social utility – there a strong argument can be made to support a duty to genetically engineer future generations’ lives and deaths. |
