"This is a more than usually interesting book on a supremely important topic the ethic of creating new people. . . . Heyd believes that the ethics of genesis is a peculiar and radically different branch of ethics with its own special problems. . . . Clever and stimulating." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Joanna Pasek, The Philosophical Quarterly
"[An] important book. . . . Heyd points out that as the human race gains increasing control over the number and identity of future people it loses normative criteria for making genethic decisions. This presents a theoretical challenge to ethics. . . . [The book includes] a very clear and interesting discussion of the difficulties encountered in any attempt to resolve genethical issues within the context of existing ethical frameworks." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
