Kanst's review
A cautious defense of genetic enhancement. I was expecting more of a polemic, but this was very reasonable and even-handed. Very easy read, considering the complex subject matter. ( )

Babies By Design is one of the few books I've encountered that's not overtly biased either in favor of, or against, human genetic enhancement. Professor Green offers a nuanced analysis of these pressing ethical issues, written in a conversational style that draws upon real-world and fictional material and doesn't require a PhD in biochemistry to decipher. If human genetic enhancement is a subject of interest to you, this one is well worth your time. ( )
