Public debate about the use of genetic technology is dominated by fears of a Huxleyan "Brave New World" or a return to the fascist eugenics of the past. In this controversial book, philosopher Nicholas Agar defuses these anxieties and defends the idea that parents should be allowed to enhance their children's genetic characteristics.
