Designing Our Descendants: The Promises and Perils of Genetic Modifications

This Book compiles essays exploring the ethical, scientific, religious, and policy implications of inheritable genetic modifications (IGM). The authors examine the feasibility of IGM, contrasting germline and somatic cell gene therapies, and addressing safety concerns and potential risks to future generations. Religious perspectives, particularly from Christian and Jewish traditions, are considered alongside discussions of justice and equitable access to IGM technologies. Finally, the text proposes national and international policy recommendations to guide IGM research and application, balancing individual liberties with societal responsibilities.
