Synopsis
This collection of essays, with an extended commentary by the editor, is concerned with developments in reproductive technology and the possibilities of genetic engineering.The volume provides a forum for debate between science and society. Leading scientists in the field explain the nature and goals of `test tube' reproduction and genetic engineering, and their eugenic implications.Other papers draw out the legal and ethical problems raised by these developments. The ethical dilemmas are discussed both from the point of view of secular moral philosophy and from a theological perspective. The extended commentary attempts to place these questions in the context of a social ethic, rather than an individualist one, in contrast to the approach adopted by the Warnock Report.Ethics, Reproduction and Genetic Control first appeared in hardback in 1987.
