Human genetic enhancement, examined from the standpoint of the new
field of political bioethics, displaces the age-old question of
truth: What is human nature? This book displaces that question with
another: What kind of human nature should humans want to create for
themselves? To answer that question, this book answers two others:
What constraints should limit the applications of rapidly
developing biotechnologies? What could possibly form the basis for
corresponding public policy in a democratic society? Benjamin Gregg
focuses on the distinctly political dimensions of human nature,
where politics refers to competition among competing values on
which to base public policy, legislation, and political culture.
This book offers citizens of democratic communities a broad
perspective on how they together might best approach urgent
questions of how to deal with the socially and morally challenging
potential for human genetic engineering.
