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.
