Reviews
Gaylin, a psychiatrist and co-founder of The Hastings Center, which examines medical ethics and bioethics, here uses two well-known stories to explore the ramifications of being consciously human. The biblical progenitors of our species, Adam and Eve, are shown to have displayed the instincts that make us different from other creatures. Collodi's tale of the wooden puppet is used to illustrate how the inchoate human of infancy develops, through experience, into the mature human being. Though these metaphors are trenchant, the writing is not focused enough to hold the reader's attention. Informed general readers may want to consider Gaylin's premise: the book seems to be a starting point rather than a completed statement.
