Inhoud:

Are reproductive and genetic technologies racing ahead of a society that is unable to establish limits to their use? This book examines the case of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), the procedure used to prevent serious genetic disease by embryo selection, and the so-called "designer baby" method.
