IMPROVING HUMANS: GENETICS, TECHNOLOGY AND ETHICS
LEE M. SILVER - Selected Bibliography
(Photo downloaded from http://www.leemsilver.net/challenging/index.htm 8/30/07)
Lee M. Silver, a professor at Princeton University in the Department of Molecular Biology and at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs,delivered a lecture on September 10 entitled Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humankind, as part of 2007-2008 McNair Ethics Lecture Series.
Given the tools of genetic engineering that have already been applied to other animals and with increased knowledge of the human genome, parents will soon be able to provide their children-to-be with inheritable advantages that could be passed on and enhanced from one generation to the next. He adressed questions whether humanity will self-evolve together or apart as a result of this, and what the future holds for homo sapiens.
We have compiled a bibliography consisting of books, book reviews, journal articles and websites by and about the speaker.
