Download Enough: Setting Limits on Human Genetic Technology AudioBook Free
We live on the verge of crossing a line - from born to made, from created to built. Sometimes in the next few years, a scientist will reprogram a human egg or sperm cell, spawning a genetic change that will be passed down into eternity. We live sleepwalking toward the near future, and it's time and energy to open our eyes. Bill McKibben, examines the dangers inherent in an selection of technologies that threaten not merely our survival, but our identity. Imagine a future where lab employees can reprogram human embryos to make our kids "smarter" or "more sociable" or "happier." Some researchers are doing more than imagining this future; they've begun to arrange for a not-very-distant day when people merge with machines to make a "posthuman" world. Enough examines such possibilities, and explains how exactly we can avoid their worst consequences while still enjoying the fruits of your new scientific understandings. McKibben argues that only by staying human can we find true meaning inside our lives. A warning contrary to the gravest dangers humans have ever faced, this wise and eloquent work is also a passionate defense of the world we were born into, and a celebration of your ability to state, "Enough."
