Zusammenfassung: | 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 |

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 Ethik 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 Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 gnd rswk-swf Klonierung (DE-588)4192480-0 gnd rswk-swf Auslese (DE-588)4003800-2 gnd rswk-swf Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 gnd rswk-swf Mensch (DE-588)4038639-9 s Klonierung (DE-588)4192480-0 s Auslese (DE-588)4003800-2 s Ethik (DE-588)4015602-3 s 1\p DE-604 Humangenetik (DE-588)4072653-8 s Gentechnologie (DE-588)4071722-7 s 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-75713-3 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-76336-3 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139194679 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
