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. Developments 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 easywhat 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. Deeply informed by Greelys command of both science and law  The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction 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","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966220234805,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674728963","price":58.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674728967.jpg?v=1770557661","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-end-of-sex-and-the-future-of-human-reproduction","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
