Wondergenes not only imagines a future world in which genetic enhancement is the norm, but asserts that this future has already begun. What happens, for example, when gene therapy becomes gene enhancement? Who will benefit and who might be left behind? What are the costs to our values and beliefs, and to our future? To answer these questions, Mehlman provides an overview of the scientific advances that have led to the present state of genetic enhancement and explains how these advances could be used in the future to redefine what we think of as a normal human being. He explores the ethical dilemmas already facing researchers and medical practitioners - the dilemmas we all will be expected to face - and weighs the social and economic costs of the many proposals to regulate or limit genetic engineering.

Outcry over recent developments in the reproductive and genetic sciences has revealed deep fissures in society's perception of biotechnical progress. Many are concerned that reckless technological development, driven by consumerist impulses and greedy entrepreneurialism, has the potential to radically shift the human condition - and not for the greater good. Biotechnology and the Human Good builds a case for a stewardship deeply rooted in Judeo-Christian theism to responsibly interpret and assess new technologies in a way that answers this concern. The authors argue that to question and critique how fields like cybernetics, nanotechnology, and genetics might affect our future is not antiscience, anti-industry, or antiprogress, but rather a way to promote human flourishing and the human good.

Biotechnologies enable us to be smarter, have better memories be stronger and quicker, live longer, be more resistant to diseases, and enjoy richer emotional lives. Buchanan explores urgent ethical issues raised by these developments, about what it is to be human and what sort of society we should strive to have.
