Engineering the Human Germline - An Exploration of the Science and Ethics of Altering the Genes We Pass to Our Children (Hardcover)

This book gives an overview of the potential and the practical details that need to be resolved in order to make human germline engineering possible. It presents the ethical and social concerns, and implications of our fast-approaching capability to alter our own germline and take an active role in the future evolution of our own species. It provides explanations of how we have arrived at the capability to clone higher animals, and discusses the implications for human therapies and for our own future when these techniques are applied to the human germline.
