Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Decisive biotechnological interventions in the lottery of human life - to enhance our bodies and brains and perhaps irreversibly change our genetic makeup - have been widely rejected as unethical and undesirable, and have often met with extreme hostility. But in "Enhancing Evolution", leading bioethicist John Harris dismantles objections to genetic engineering, stem-cell research, designer babies, and cloning to make a forthright, sweeping, and rigorous ethical case for using biotechnology to improve human life. Human enhancement, Harris argues, is a good thing - good morally, good for individuals, good as social policy, and good for a genetic heritage that needs serious improvement."Enhancing Evolution" defends biotechnological interventions that could allow us to live longer, healthier, and even happier lives by, for example, providing us with immunity from cancer and HIV/AIDS. But the book advocates far more than therapies designed to free us from sickness and disability. Harris champions the possibility of influencing the very course of evolution to give us increased mental and physical powers - from reasoning, concentration, and memory to strength, stamina, and reaction speed. Indeed, he supports enhancing ourselves in almost any way we desire. And it's not only morally defensible to enhance ourselves, Harris says. In some cases, it's morally obligatory. Whether one looks upon biotechnology with hope, fear, or a little of both, "Enhancing Evolution" makes a case for it that no one can ignore. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Decisive biotechnological interventions aimed at enhancing human bodies and brains have faced significant ethical rejection and hostility. In this work, leading bioethicist John Harris dismantles objections to genetic engineering, stem-cell research, designer babies, and cloning, making a compelling ethical case for biotechnology to improve human life. Harris argues that human enhancement is not only morally good but also beneficial for individuals, social policy, and our genetic heritage, which he believes requires improvement. He defends interventions that could lead to longer, healthier, and happier lives, such as immunity from diseases like cancer and HIV/AIDS. However, the book goes beyond mere therapies for sickness and disability; it advocates for influencing the course of evolution to enhance mental and physical capabilities, including reasoning, memory, strength, and stamina. Harris asserts that enhancing ourselves is not just morally defensible but, in some cases, a moral obligation. Regardless of one's perspective on biotechnology--whether hopeful, fearful, or ambivalent--this work presents an argument that is impossible to overlook.
