Description
“Will the future confront us with human GMOs? Greely provocatively declares yes, and, while clearly explaining the science, spells out the ethical, political, and practical ramifications.”―Paul Berg, Nobel Laureate and recipient of the National Medal of ScienceWithin twenty, maybe forty, years most people in developed countries will stop having sex for the purpose of reproduction. Instead, prospective parents will be told as much as they wish to know about the genetic makeup of dozens of embryos, and they will pick one or two for implantation, gestation, and birth. And it will be safe, lawful, and free. In this work of prophetic scholarship, Henry T. Greely explains the revolutionary biological technologies that make this future a seeming inevitability and sets out the deep ethical and legal challenges humanity faces as a result.“Readers looking for a more in-depth analysis of human genome modifications and reproductive technologies and their legal and ethical implications should strongly consider picking up Greely’s The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction… [It has] the potential to empower readers to make informed decisions about the implementation of advancements in genetics technologies.”―Dov Greenbaum, Science“[Greely] provides an extraordinarily sophisticated analysis of the practical, political, legal, and ethical implications of the new world of human reproduction. His book is a model of highly informed, rigorous, thought-provoking speculation about an immensely important topic.”―Glenn C. Altschuler, Psychology Today

A pleasure to read. Greely's style is clear, specific, and engaging. Part One is devoted to the biological foundations of the growing revolution in human reproduction, and for me it was both illuminating and enjoyable to read. Greely packs a lot of information into a relatively short space, synthesizing an impressive amount of information into a coherent whole centered around his concept of "Easy PGD.". He then turns to explore the path for the coming decades that he think will transform the way in which human beings in industrialized (i.e., affluent) societies will reproduce. I think things will move more slowly than Greely does, simply because things always seem to move more slowly than we think in the moment. (I remember watching the first U.S. moon landing in 1969 in a little village in Germany in the middle of the night, and it would have been hard to imagine that we wouldn't have colonies on the moon in twenty years. Similarly, after a decade of Concorde supersonic commercial flight, we are back to subsonic-only flight. Or the early promise of gene therapy, maturing decades after we expected.) Greely, nonetheless, plots a careful pathway into this (probably inevitable) future. Part Three deals with the ethical, legal, and policy implications of Easy PGD, and here Greely is at his best, illuminating without being pedantic, carefully showing why certain extremes are either impossible or highly undesirable, and then laying out the issues that we will face in dealing with the available possibilities. Greely doesn't get ahead of his data and does not try to solve all these issues, but he does present very careful examinations of the arguments that will leave the reader more informed and with a much more nuanced understanding of the contours of these issues.
