The End of Genetics
2022
Overview
An urgent plea for a broader understanding and awareness of
the unconsidered dangers of new genetic technologies Since
2010 it has been possible to determine a person's genetic makeup in
a matter of days at an accessible cost for many millions of people.
Along with this technological breakthrough there has emerged a
movement to use this information to help prospective parents
\"eliminate preventable genetic disease.\" As the prospect of
systematically excluding the appearance of unwanted mutations in
our children comes within reach, David B. Goldstein examines the
possible consequences from these types of choices. Engaging and
accessible, this clarion call for responsible and informed
stewardship of the human genome provides an overview of what we do
and do not know about human genetics and looks at some of the
complex, yet largely unexplored, issues we must be most careful
about as we move into an era of increasing numbers of parents
exercising direct control over the genomes of their children.
