A book by the author of my situational ethics text in college, and a useful one for exploring the issues raised by the ability to control or manipulate human genetics and reproduction. The book is a bit dated, but handily anticipates issues raised by today's advances in medicine, with the exception of stem cell research, undreamed of in 1974. The author attempts to provide answers to some of the questions raised, without being rigid or didactic. The book is a useful springboard for any discussion or paper on the topics within. ( )
