Should we make people healthier, smarter, and longer-lived if
genetic and medical advances enable us to do so? Matti H yry asks
this question in the context of genetic testing and selection,
cloning and stem cell research, gene therapies and enhancements.
The ethical questions explored include parental responsibility, the
use of people as means, the role of hope and fear in risk
assessment, and the dignity and meaning of life. Taking as a
starting point the arguments presented by Jonathan Glover, John
Harris, Ronald M. Green, J rgen Habermas, Michael J. Sandel, and
Leon R. Kass, who defend a particular normative view as the only
rational or moral answer, Matti H yry argues that many coherent
rationalities and moralities exist in the field, and that to claim
otherwise is mistaken.
