An urgent plea for a broader understanding and awareness of the
unconsidered dangers of new genetic technologies Since 2010 it has
been possible to determine a person's genetic makeup in a matter of
days at an accessible cost for many millions of people. Along with
this technological breakthrough there has emerged a movement to use
this information to help prospective parents "eliminate preventable
genetic disease." As the prospect of systematically excluding the
appearance of unwanted mutations in our children comes within
reach, David B. Goldstein examines the possible consequences from
these types of choices. Engaging and accessible, this clarion call
for responsible and informed stewardship of the human genome
provides an overview of what we do and do not know about human
genetics and looks at some of the complex, yet largely unexplored,
issues we must be most careful about as we move into an era of
increasing numbers of parents exercising direct control over the
genomes of their children.
