Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is taken to mark the starting-point of a new phase in human reproduction, where the possibility of choosing children on genetic grounds without having to resort to dangerous or ethically controversial procedures (such as abortion) will gradually increase. Ethical and political issues actualised by this development are addressed. The discussion touches upon issues regarding the moral status of embryos and gametes, the moral import of respecting individual autonomy and its implications for the requirement of informed consent in health-care, the connection between sickness, disability and the value of life, the moral status of possible future people, and the connection between choosing children and eugenic policies of the past. Practical policy issues are adressed on the basis of this as well as an empirical case-study of the introduction of PGD in Sweden. The book ends up in a set of recommendations regarding the management of research on, introduction and routine use of pure selection, both within health care and from the point of view of society as a whole. It is argued that research on such procedures should be allowed and supported by society. However, tight restrictions regarding the clinical introduction of new procedures in this area is highly desirable. A rough model for implementing such restrictions is also presented. It is further asserted that, although reasons of economy and safety should limit the access to pure selection, society should not apply any explicit restrictions based on ideas regarding how different traits affect a person's quality of life. It is stressed that, in order to avoid a resurrection of eugenic policies of the past, the development in this field underlines the need for continued and strengthened public support to the sick, disabled and mentally retarded.

To what extent should we use technology to try to make better human beings? Because of the remarkable advances in biomedical science, we must now find an answer to this question. Human enhancement aims to increase human capacities above normal levels. Many forms of human enhancement are already in use. Many students and academics take cognition enhancing drugs to get a competitive edge. Some top athletes boost their performance with legal and illegal substances. Many an office worker begins each day with a dose of caffeine. This is only the beginning. As science and technology advance further, it will become increasingly possible to enhance basic human capacities to increase or modulate cognition, mood, personality, and physical performance, and to control the biological processes underlying normal aging. Some have suggested that such advances would take us beyond the bounds of human nature. These trends, and these dramatic prospects, raise profound ethical questions. They have generated intense public debate and have become a central topic of discussion within practical ethics.Should we side with bioconservatives, and forgo the use of any biomedical interventions aimed at enhancing human capacities?
