As a result, unnerving similarities between earlier selection ideology so central to the discredited eugenic regimes of the 20th century and those now on offer suggest that a new era of eugenics has dawned. The time is ripe, therefore, for considering and evaluating from an ethical perspective both current and future selection practices. This inter-disciplinary volume blends research from embryology, genetics, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and history. In so doing, it constructs a thorough picture of the procedures emerging from today’s reproductive developments, including a rigorous ethical argumentation concerning the possible advantages and risks related to the new eugenics.","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152396271856,"sku":"9781782381211","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782381211_p0.jpg?v=1763719262","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782381211","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
