Instead, prospective parents will be told as much as they wish to know about the genetic makeup of dozens of embryos, and they will pick one or two for implantation, gestation, and birth. And it will be safe, lawful, and free. In this work of prophetic scholarship, Henry T. Greely explains the revolutionary biological technologies that make this future a seeming inevitability and sets out the deep ethical and legal challenges humanity faces as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDevelopments in genetics and stem cell research are giving rise to new techniques that will vastly improve preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and in vitro fertilization (IVF), making sexless reproduction not just possible but cheap and easy--what Greely coins \"easy PGD.\" The first child born using PGD is now 25 years old, and thousands more are born each year. Advanced by economic, social, legal, and political forces, the emerging science has made the concerns that were once the stuff of science fiction into real problems that our children and grandchildren will face routinely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeeply informed by Greely's command of both science and law, \u003ci\u003eThe End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction\u003c\/i\u003e is a book for parents, citizens, and all those, born and unborn, who will face the consequences of a new era of human reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction | Henry T Greely | Hardcover | 9780674728967 | Used: Like New | Science \u0026 Math 1755122 (temp: 24)","offer_id":49034077044888,"sku":"1755122","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51DhDQv8b7L.jpg?v=1778436105","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/end-of-sex-and-the-future-of-human-reproduction","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
