Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1932, predicting a future of genetic control that now lies within our technological grasp. "While Huxley guessed right about the power we would gain over the process of reproduction, I think he was dead wrong when it came to predicting who would use the power," says geneticist Lee Silver. "It is individuals and couples who want to reproduce themselves in their own images, who want their children to be happy and successful, who will seize control of these new technologies." In Remaking Eden Silver shows how close we are to human genetic engineering, and how strong the forces are that are taking us there.
The New York Times Book Review, Paul Raeburn
No question is too speculative, remote or absurd for Silver, a Princeton University biologist and geneticist who teaches bioethics. He entertains even the wildest and most speculative notions because--as he argues persuasively--the future is already here.
