{"product_id":"the-ethics-of-the-new-calum-mackellar-9781782381204","title":"The Ethics of the New Eugenics","description":"\u003cp\u003e Strategies or decisions aimed at affecting, in a manner considered to be positive, the genetic heritage of a child in the context of human reproduction are increasingly being accepted in contemporary society. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Calum Mackellar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782381201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782381204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Calum Mackellar","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48136888680703,"sku":"9781782381204","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99b1f2fb-0f66-4867-8d4e-1e0447e86c9a.jpg?v=1770165127","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ethics-of-the-new-calum-mackellar-9781782381204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
