Theories of distributive justice tend to focus on the issue of what
constitutes a fair division of 'external' goods and opportunities;
things like wealth and income, opportunities for education and
basic liberties and rights. However, rapid advances in the
biomedical sciences have ushered in a new era, one where the
'genetic lottery of life' can be directly influenced by humans in
ways that would have been considered science fiction only a few
decades ago. How should theories of justice be modified to take
seriously the prospect of new biotechnologies, especially given the
health challenges posed by global aging? Colin Farrelly addresses a
host of topics, ranging from gene therapy and preimplantation
genetic diagnosis, to an 'anti-aging' intervention and the creation
and evolution of patriarchy. This book aims to foster the
interdisciplinary dialogue needed to ensure we think rationally and
cogently about science and science policy in the twenty-first
century.
