Germ Line Therapy Genetically Engineered
4,617 wordsAbstract This paper sets out to defend human genetic engineering with a new bioethical approach, post-humanism, combined with a radical democratic political framework. Arguments for the restriction of human genetic engineering, and specifically germ-line enhancement, are reviewed.

The four bio-Luddite concerns addresse...
