书目名称 | Germ-Line Intervention and Our Responsibilities to Future Generations | 编辑 | Emmanuel Agius (Coordinator),Salvino Busuttil | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | In contemporary ethical discussion widespread concern about thepotential risks of genetic engineering is raising new and fundamentalquestions about our responsibilities towards unborn generations. Newlyacquired knowledge in genetic engineering techniques has brought aboutnot only potential benefits but also immense risks for the well-beingof both present and future generations. This book raises a number ofethical issues concerning the impact of genetic engineering ongenerations yet to be born. The four topical areas that constitute thefocus of the volume, namely (1) from laboratory to germ-line therapy,(2) the concept of human nature: theological and secular perspectives,(3) genetic intervention and the common heritage view, and (4) socialresponsibilities of geneticists towards future generations, raiseintriguing ethical and legal questions, as well as important policyissues. As much as any set of issues, they reflect the hopes andfears, prejudices and uncertainties that people associate withgerm-line intervention and the future of human kind. | 出版日期 | Book 19981st edition | 关键词 | Ethical Issues; Ethics; Eugenics; Moral; bioethics; biotechnology; genetic engineering | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-5149-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-010-6164-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-5149-8 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1998 |
