Creating Future People offers readers a fast-paced primer on how
new genetic technologies will enable parents to influence the
traits of their children, including their intelligence, moral
capacities, physical appearance, and immune system. It deftly
explains the science of gene editing and embryo selection, and
raises the central moral questions with colorful language and a
brisk style. Jonathan Anomaly takes seriously the diversity of
preferences parents have, and the limits of public policy in
regulating what could soon be a global market for reproductive
technology. He argues that once embryo selection for complex traits
happens it will change the moral landscape by altering the
incentives parents face. All of us will take an interest in the
traits everyone else selects, and this will present coordination
problems that previous writers on genetic enhancement have failed
to consider. Anomaly navigates difficult ethical issues with vivid
language and scientifically informed speculation about how genetic
engineering will transform humanity. Key features: Offers clear
explanations of scientific concepts; Explores important moral
questions without academic jargon; Brings discoveries from
different fields together to give us a sense of where humanity is
headed.
