Abstract

An introduction to a controversial, yet increasingly important, scientific discipline: the attempts to improve our genetic inheritance. Reclaiming the term "eugenics" from the perverted and racially motivated, the author reasserts its origins in the improvement of our genetic constitution. In the continuing media furore over 'designer babies' and the race to complete the map of human DNA - in other words, to identify the individual genes that make us who we are - scientists and commentators rarely use the word that describes this new ethical and technical minefield: 'eugenics'. Since the horrendous experiments of Nazi death camps the word has laboured under a sinister reputation, yet those perverted and racially motivated abominations should not blind us to what eugenics really is: the use of science for the qualitative and quantitative improvement of our genetic constitution. David Galton's superbly clear-headed, sensible and accessible survey of the history, ethics and potential of this much-maligned branch of science makes fascinating reading. From Ancient Greece to Charles Darwin, Adolf Hitler and the Human Genome Project, IN OUR OWN IMAGE is a brilliant account of our struggle to change the way we are, and where that struggle might take us in the future.

Abstract

Tous les parents veulent des enfants parfaits à la naissance. Nos outils de diagnostic des malformations sont aujourd'hui particulièrement fiables et précis. Quel contraste avec nos moyens d'action ! Bien souvent, il n'existe en fait qu'un recours : l'avortement thérapeutique. Dans quelles conditions pour la mère et le fœtus ? Comment se prennent les décisions et à qui reviennent-elles ? Quels sont les risques humains et sociaux ? Et surtout quelles alternatives thérapeutiques mettre en place pour sortir de ce dilemme ? " Il nous faut vivre avec nos réalités imparfaites, accepter l'euthanasie fœtale comme une épreuve encore inévitable, en entourant de notre compassion, de notre soutien, de notre sollicitude tous ceux qui s'y soumettent par raison, tous ceux qui s'y refusent par amour.
