The Ethics of the New Eugenics (Paperback): Calum MacKellar, Christopher Bechtel The Ethics of the New Eugenics (Paperback)
Calum MacKellar, Christopher Bechtel
R849 Discovery Miles 8 490 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Strategies or decisions aimed at affecting, in a manner considered to be positive, the genetic heritage of a child in the context of human reproduction are increasingly being accepted in contemporary society. As a result, unnerving similarities between earlier selection ideology so central to the discredited eugenic regimes of the 20th century and those now on offer suggest that a new era of eugenics has dawned. The time is ripe, therefore, for considering and evaluating from an ethical perspective both current and future selection practices. This inter-disciplinary volume blends research from embryology, genetics, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and history. In so doing, it constructs a thorough picture of the procedures emerging from today's reproductive developments, including a rigorous ethical argumentation concerning the possible advantages and risks related to the new eugenics.

Book reviews in this volume likewise focus on works associated with the themes of sexuality, marriage, and gender.
