First published 2007
A thought-provoking exploration of the ethics of genetic engineering. As science unlocks the secrets of our DNA, the ability to perfect the human form emerges. But at what cost? Sandel grapples with the moral quandaries of designing babies, enhancing physical and cognitive abilities, and the potential consequences for society. With clear-eyed analysis, he challenges readers to consider the humanity we might sacrifice in pursuit of biological supremacy. At the heart of this debate lies a fundamental question: if we can be "better than well," should we?
