Book Review: Tinkering With Humans

July 9, 2007

Three years ago in The Atlantic, the Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel wrote a critique of genetic engineering titled “The Case against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering” Now he has turned it into a book. The title is the same, but the text has changed, and sections have been added. That’s what human beings do. We try to improve things. (New York Times)
