International uproar followed the recent announcement of the birth of twin girls whose genomes had been edited with a breakthrough DNA editing-technology. This technology, called clustered regularly interspaced short palindrome repeats or CRISPR-Cas9, can alter any DNA, including DNA in embryos, meaning that changes can be passed to the offspring of the person that embryo becomes. Should we use gene editing technologies to change ourselves, our children, and future generations to come? The potential uses of CRISPR-Cas9 and other gene editing technologies are unprecedented in human history. By using these technologies, we eradicate certain dreadful diseases. Altering human DNA, however, raises enormously difficult questions. Some of these questions are about safety: Can these technologies be deployed without posing an unreasonable risk of physical harm to current and future generations? Can all physical risks be adequately assessed, and responsibly managed? But gene editing technologies also raise other moral questions, which touch on deeply held, personal, cultural, and societal values: Might such technologies redefine what it means to be healthy, or normal, or cherished? Might they undermine relationships between parents and children, or exacerbate the gap between the haves and have-nots? The broadest form of this second kind of question is the focus of this book: What might gene editing―and related technologies―mean for human flourishing? In the new essays collected here, an interdisciplinary group of scholars asks age―old questions about the nature and well-being of humans in the context of a revolutionary new biotechnology―one that has the potential to change the genetic make-up of both existing people and future generations. Welcoming readers who study related issues and those not yet familiar with the formal study of bioethics, the authors of these essays open up a conversation about the ethics of gene editing. It is through this conversation that citizens can influence laws and the distribution of funding for science and medicine, that professional leaders can shape understanding and use of gene editing and related technologies by scientists, patients, and practitioners, and that individuals can make decisions about their own lives and the lives of their families.

Glück für alle? bietet eine allgemeinverständliche Zusammenfassung zentraler, wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse der Lebenszufriedenheitsforschung. Dieses Buch schließt die Lücke zwischen stark vereinfachenden Glücksratgebern auf der einen und schwerverständlichen wissenschaftlichen Fachartikeln auf der anderen Seite. Studierenden liefert es einen interdisziplinären Einstieg in die empirische Glücksforschung und zentrale Quellen für die eigene wissenschaftliche Arbeit. Praktikern gibt es einen kompakten Überblick z.B. zu wichtigen Determinanten der Arbeitszufriedenheit auch in digitalen Zeiten. Politikern zeigt es Wege für die Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik auf, die nachhaltig zu mehr Wohlbefinden führen. Alle finden faktenbasierte Antworten zur Suche nach dem Glück. «Glück für alle?» ist ein interdisziplinäres Lehrbuch für Kurse, in denen über den Tellerrand der eigenen Disziplin hinausgeschaut werden soll. Es ist ein gut strukturiertes Handbuch, das einen Überblick über die Lebenszufriedenheitsforschung gibt und sich durch umfangreiche Literaturverweise auszeichnet. Es ist ein informatives Lesebuch, das die Orientierung im Dickicht der Glücksratgeber erleichtert und zum Nachdenken anregt. This book provides an excellent overview of the methods and findings of happiness research. The authors also derive policy recommendations for states and companies.
