Reseña del libro "We Need to Talk About This: About the new Eugenics. (en Inglés)"
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS - 3rd editionWhat kind of world do you want to live in? One that will accept your daughter no matter what she looks like or one that will reject your son because he is a little bit different?Today, we are determining what future societies may be like and what kind of life our grandchildren will get to live.This does not only concern the physical environment. New technologies like CRISPR have the power to change the composition of populations, just like older technologies like PGD and chorionic villus sampling have already done in some countries.We have the duty to think about whether we want to let this continue unhampered. We all need to weigh in. If we don’t, others will make these important decisions for us.Even the people we expect to have all the answers don’t have all the answers.In China, a scientist has just gone to prison for three years for illegal CRISPR experiments on humans.Make no mistake, this debate is not about science versus nature or technology versus nature.If we look back into our recent history, we can all see that we’ve often been unable to predict negative effects of what looked like great progress. It looks like we often didn’t spend sufficient thought on all the angles.If we eradicate natural diversity from the human species, we may end up dissolving the glue that binds society. We may also find that we actually require the full range of human diversity to enable us to make more progress.It’s crucial to find the right balance and reach a global consensus on these matters.It is undeniable that there are people whose health conditions make them suffer and that we have to be as compassionate as possible. But we also often underestimate the quality of life and unique abilities of people whose bodies or minds work differently.In other words, this book focuses on the new eugenics.ABOUT THE AUTHORAngelina Souren is an independent critical thinker, writer and researcher.
