Product Description
This clear, concise, and groundbreaking report examines the reach, and potential, of biotechnology in every aspect of our daily life. Healthy children, superior physical performance, age longevity, overall happiness—our desires and the emerging means to fulfill them raise a host of ethical challenges. Accompanied by a foreword by Leon R. Kass, an introduction by renowned columnist William Safire, and additional comments from member scientists on the President's Council on Bioethics, this report considers those possibilities in all their breadth and complexity.
