Designer children

Description:

"In Designer Children, Karen Peterson-Iyer hopes to construct some moral ground under society's feet regarding genetic technology. Drawing upon the best insights from Christian faith and feminist thought to evaluate the various ways in which to genetically "shape" children, the author employs the concept of "human flourishing" to advance specific recommendations about gene therapy to prevent cystic fibrosis, genetic enhancement of memory, and sex pre-selection."--Jacket.
