Today, scientists are using CRISPR/Cas9 and other molecular editing
tools to alter human gametes and embryos, a practice known as human
germline modification. In the near future, these efforts may lead
to the birth of children with better health, improved memories, and
extended lifespans. However, critics claim that human germline
modification exceeds divine and natural boundaries, transforms
reproduction into manufacture, and yields apocalyptic outcomes such
as the collapse of democracy. Enhanced Beings: Human Germline
Modification and the Law analyzes and critiques these objections on
both biological and political grounds. Professor Kerry Lynn
Macintosh discusses the hidden psychology behind the objections,
and describes the laws that affect this new technology. Provocative
and timely, Enhanced Beings argues that bans on human germline
modification pose a threat to scientists and science, parents,
children, foreigners, and society.
