Présentation de l'éditeur :

Science fiction has been preoccupied with technologies to control the characteristics of our children since the publication of Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World'. Current arguments about 'designer babies' almost always demand that lines should be drawn and regulations tightened. But where should regulation stop and patient choice in the use of reproductive technology begin? In this book, five contributors set out their arguments.
