Items related to Enough: Genetic Engineering and the End of Human Nature
Synopsis
Sometime in the next few years, some scientist may reprogram a human egg or sperm cell, make a change in the genetic instructions carried by that cell, a change that will be passed on down into eternity. The scientific expertise exists to do this, as does the motivation: to erase the chance of inheriting a disease, to improve the intelligence or the stamina or the beauty of a child. On the brink of an era that may be defined by genetic engineering, McKibben asks: should this happen? He argues that genetic engineering and the technologies that lie beyond it will launch us free of our past, of our humanity, of meaning. We are sleepwalking towards a future that will take us far away from all we have known: ENOUGH is our wake-up call.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Inscribed on the front free endpaper: "For Ford and Susan, with enormous affection (and remember--there are never enough corgis). Bill McKibben." A fun inscription. This is the simultaneous British edition, uncommon signed and with a slightly different subtitle. A book that considers the promises and especially perils of genetic engineering, and one that echoes what may be the central message in McKibben's work: We should find a way to be satisfied with the good that we already have rather than consume or meddle more. Blurbs by E.O. Wilson and Michael Pollan. A fine book in fine jacket. Seller Inventory # 1180
