The future of human nature / Habermas, Jürgen (book review)

Abstract

This book is of particular interest for two sorts of reasons. For those interested in bioethics, it contains a genuinely new set of arguments for placing serious restrictions on using prenatal genetic technologies to "enhance" offspring. And for those interested in Habermas's moral philosophy, it contains a number of new developments in his "discourse ethics" -not the least of which is a willingness to engage in applied ethics at all.
