Altering the Blueprint: The Ethics of Genetics - Alexander McCall Smith
This is actually a University level course taught by Professor Smith. It is a series of fourteen lectures on various subjects concerning the ethical choices we face in modern day reproduction and medical science.
The topics discussed included:
An Overview of Techniques for Creating Humans
When Does Life Begin?
Cloning
Sex Selection
Abortion?
Surrogacy
Screening for Abnormalities
Genetic Enhancement
Spare-Part Children
Population Control
I found this to be an extremely interesting course.
