Ten years later, he revised his argument: we hadn't reached the end of history, he wrote, because we hadn't yet reached the end of science. Arguing that our greatest advances still to come will be in the life sciences, [he] now asks how the ability to modify human behavior will affect liberal democracy. To re-orient contemporary debate, [he] underlines man's changing understanding of human nature through history: from Plato and Aristotle's belief that man had "natural ends," to the ideals of utopians and dictators of the modern age who sought to remake mankind for ideological ends. [He] persuasively argues that the ultimate prize of the biotechnology revolution-intervention in the "germ-line," the ability to manipulate the DNA of all of one person's descendents-will have profound, and potentially terrible, consequences for our political order, even if undertaken by ordinary parents seeking to "improve" their children. In [this book, he] begins to describe the potential effects of exploration on the foundation of liberal democracy: the belief that human beings are equal by nature.-Dust jacket. 000012955 650_0 $$aHuman cloning$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 000012955 650_0 $$aHumanistic ethics. 000012955 650_0 $$aHumanity. 000012955 650_0 $$aPatents. 000012955 650_0 $$aHuman behavior. 000012955 650_0 $$aHuman rights. 000012955 650_0 $$aBiotechnology. 000012955 650_0 $$aEthics. 000012955 650_4 $$aPATENTS : PATENTABILITY : BIOTECHNOLOGY 000012955 650_4 $$aHUMAN RIGHTS 000012955 650_4 $$aHUMAN NATURE, DIGNITY 000012955 650_4 $$aBIOTECHNOLOGY : POLITICAL CONTROL 000012955 650_4 $$aGENETIC ENGINEERING 000012955 650_4 $$aNEUROPHARMACOLOGY AND THE CONTROL OF BEHAVIOR 000012955 650_6 $$aMorale humaniste. 000012955 650_6 $$aClonage humain$$xAspect moral. 000012955 903__ $$v1 000012955 942__ $$cMON 000012955 952__ $$w2006-11-03$$p2002-0612$$r27.22$$u14209$$bMAIN$$10$$kG 252 FUK.O$$v2002-10-03$$ztagged$$71 000012955 980__ $$aBIB 000012955 999__ $$c13557$$d13557
