should we make people healthier, smarter
and longer-lived if genetic and medical advances
enable us to do so?
Matti Häyry asks
this question
in the context of genetic testing and selection,
cloning and stem cell research, gene therapies and
enhancements. The ethical questions explored
include parental responsibility, the use of people as
means,the role of hope and fear in risk assessment,
andthedignityand meaning of life.
Taking as a starting point the arguments
presented byjonathan Glover.john Harris,
Ronald
M.Green, Jürgen Habermas,
Michael
j.
Sandel
and Leon R.
каѕѕ,
who defend a particular normative
view as the only rational or moral answer,
Matti Häyry
argues that many coherent rationalities and
moralities exist in the field, and that to claim
otherwise is mistaken. |

Taking the genetic challenge rationally "Should we make people healthier, smarter, and longer-lived if genetic and medical advances enable us to do so? Matti Häyry asks this question in the context of genetic testing and selection, cloning and stem cell research, gene therapies and enhancements. The ethical questions explored include parental responsibility, the use of people as means, the role of hope and fear in risk assessment, and the dignity and meaning of life. Taking as a starting point the arguments presented by Jonathan Glover, John Harris, Ronald M. Green, Jürgen Habermas, Michael J. Sandel, and Leon R. Kass, who defend a particular normative view as the only rational or moral answer, Matti Häyry argues that many coherent rationalities and moralities exist in the field, and that to claim otherwise is mistaken"--Provided by publisher Genetic engineering / Moral and ethical aspects Medical genetics / Moral and ethical aspects Genetic Techniques / ethics Bioethical Issues Ethik Genetic Techniques ethics Genetic engineering Moral and ethical aspects Medical genetics Moral and ethical aspects Gentechnologie (DE-588)4071722-7 gnd rswk-swf Humangenetik (DE-588)4072653-8 gnd rswk-swf Klonierung (DE-588)4192480-0 gnd rswk-swf Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 gnd rswk-swf Auslese (DE-588)4003800-2 gnd rswk-swf Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 gnd rswk-swf Humangenetik (DE-588)4072653-8 s Gentechnologie (DE-588)4071722-7 s Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 s DE-604 Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 s Klonierung (DE-588)4192480-0 s Auslese (DE-588)4003800-2 s b DE-604 Digitalisierung UB Augsburg application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=018939643&sequence=000003&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Augsburg application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=018939643&sequence=000004&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
