Title: Enhancing human traits
Description: New biotechnologies - ranging from genetic manipulation to pharmacology and new surgical techniques - are rapidly making it possible to enhance an individual's appearance, mood, mental and physical abilities, and even personality in ways previously only imagined. In this volume, scholars from philosophy, sociology, history, theology, women's studies, and law explore the looming ethical and social implications of these new biotechnologies.
