Recent advances in biotechnology force urgent questions about whether—and how—humans should intervene in the genome. This concise volume examines claims about taking biological evolution into our own hands and the ethical stakes involved.

Through careful philosophical analysis the author explores how genetic knowledge and manipulation can affect personal identity, autonomy, and equal relations among people. The argument considers whether awareness of hereditary factors might restrict life choices or alter conceptions of agency and responsibility.

The concluding material broadens the discussion to the wider cultural tensions between scientific progress and other social frameworks, inviting readers to weigh moral limits alongside practical possibilities.
