Choosing Children: Genes, Disability, and Design by Jonathan Glover

reginacattus's review

3.0

This book was a little repetitive, and unavoidably outdated, but nonetheless it was eye-opening. It covers (as you might guess from the subtitle) a lot on the ethics of genetics. It stretches in scope from genetic engineering to eugenics to disability-racism to the philosophy of what humanity is. It's only a short book, but it raises a lot of the issues associated with genetic technology that I hadn't previously considered, looking at novel aspects of them. It was worth reading.
