| Description: |
A collection of articles, essays, speeches and testimony, chronicling the start of America's national debate on genetics. It begins with selections from Aldous Huxley and C.S. Lewis, then looks to the future, moving on to the questions surrounding the debate over human cloning and stem cells. |
| Synopsis: |
This collection, edited by William Kristol and Eric Cohen, chronicles the start of the great national debate over stem cell research. It looks back, beginning with selections from Aldous Huxley and C.S. Lewis, who first imagined the possibility of a Brave New World many decades ago. It looks forward, moving on to the current debate over human cloning and stem cells, including articles, essays, speeches and testimony from genetic enthusiasts and critics, scientists and moralists, politicians and scholars. An original introduction by Kristol and Cohen maps out the major disagreements, the questions ahead, and their own view that America's unchecked faith in technological progress needs a radical reconsideration. |
