The controversial topic of the technology of Pre-implantation
Genetic Diagnosis, and the muddled approach to this subject adopted
by the UK Parliament, is explored in detail in this volume. The
author takes the viewpoint that the HFEA has taken insufficient
notice to date of certain core ethical principles and makes the
case for a much more ethically consistent and humane system than
has been managed so far.
Arguing that many of the fears and objections levied against
Robert Nozick's notion of the 'Genetic Supermarket' by disability
activists, christian bioethicists and radical feminists, amongst
others, are internally inconsistent, philosophically unsound or
merely highly improbable, the author considers a number of
individual policy decisions of the HFEA and addresses such
questions as:
- Can a case be made out for state involvement in such
decisions?
- Who stands to be harmed by a supermarket model?
- Are any ethical principles or societal interests threatened by
it?
This book is an essential resource for law students of all
levels and professionals working within or interested in medical
and healthcare law and medical genetics.
