Ethics, Reproduction and Genetic Control / Edition 2

by Ruth Chadwick

Overview

In this revised edition with a new preface from the editor, leading scientists explain the nature and goals of ‘test tube' reproduction and genetic engineering, and their eugenic implications. In contrast to the Warnock report, the extended commentary considers the issues in the context of a social ethic rather than the individualist viewpoint.
