Abstract

Technology evolves at a dazzling speed, and nowhere more so than in the field of genetic engineering, where the possibility of directly changing the genes of one's children is quickly becoming a reality. The public is rightly concerned, but interestingly, they have not had much to say about the implications of recent advancements in human genetics. "Playing God?" asks why and explores the social forces that have led to the thinning out of public debate over human genetic engineering. John H. Evans contends that the problem lies in the structure of the debate itself. Disputes over human genetic engineering concern the means for achieving assumed ends, rather than being a healthy discussion about the ends themselves. According to Evans, this change in focus occurred as the jurisdiction over the debate shifted from scientists to bioethicists, a change which itself was caused by the rise of the bureaucratic state as the authority in such matters. The implications of this timely study are twofold. Evans not only explores how decisions about the ethics of human genetic engineering are made, but also shows how the structure of the debate has led to the technological choices we now face. Technology evolves at a dazzling speed, particularly in the field of genetic engineering. But the public has not had much to say about the advancements in human genetics. This text asks why and explores the social forces that have led to the thinning out of public debate over genetic engineering.

Abstract

Louisa Brown, de eerste proefbuisbaby, sloeg iedereen met verstomming. Dat was het begin van schijnbaar onbegrensde mogelijkheden: van kersverse moeders met de leeftijd van oma's en embryo's ontstaan uit eicellen van geaborteerde vrouwen tot zwarte vrouwen die een blank kind willen omwille van een betere toekomst... Paul Schotsmans wandelt rond in de labo's van infertiliteitsklinieken en tast de grenzen af van wat kan, nog niet kan en ook niet wenselijk is. Hij luistert naar collega's wetenschappers die uitgebreid én verstaanbaar de nieuwste evoluties uiteenzetten. Maar ook denkt hij na over de status van het embryo en het welzijn van het kind, de voorwaarden tot verantwoord ouderschap, het recht op kinderen... Dit is geen boek gevuld met juichkreten maar een doordachte bezinning met behoedzaam geformuleerde antwoorden. Zich bewust van de draagwijdte van zijn stellingen, analyseert de auteur kritisch de kerkelijke standpunten met het oog op waarachtige menswaardigheid. Een moedig boek over een delicaat onderwerp.

Abstract

Nearly all the works Aristotle (384-322 BCE) prepared for publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They can be categorized as practical; logical; physical; metaphysical; on art; other; fragments.
