Title
What Sort Of People Should There Be?
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This Was The First Philosophical Book On The Ethics Of Genetic Choices, And (In Its Second Half) The First Book On What Is Now Called Neuroethics: Questions About Moodchanging Drugs, About Inhabiting Virtual Realities, And About The Use Of Brainscanning Techniques To Access The Contents Of Peoples Minds. This Book Is About Some Questions To Do With The Future Of Mankind. The Questions Have Been Selected On Two Grounds. They Arise Out Of Scientific Developments Whose Beginnings We Can Already See, Such As Genetic Engineering And Behaviour Control. And They Involve Fundamental Values: These Technologies May Change The Central Framework Of Human Life. The Book Is Intended As A Contribution, Not To Prediction, But To A Discussion Of What Sort Of Future We Should Try To Bring About... The Intention Is To Describe Possibilities In Ways That Separate Out Different Values, And To Say, These Values, Rather Than Those, Are What Matter, Aren'T They? Of Course, In A Way I Hope For The Answer Yes. But, Because People Have Different Outlooks, The Answer Will Quite Often Be No. My Hope Is That Those Who Answer No Will Have Been Helped To See More Clearly What It Is They Do Not Believe, And Perhaps As A Result To Work Out More Fully What They Do Believe.
