{"product_id":"the-ethics-of-the-new-calum-mackellar-9781785332029","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 1785332023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785332029\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\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Calum Mackellar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125380542719,"sku":"9781785332029","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3be1ba57-a6a6-4b60-af63-84951f978c69.jpg?v=1687442293","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ethics-of-the-new-calum-mackellar-9781785332029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
