Is a baby whose personality has been chosen from a gene supermarket still a human? If we choose what we create what happens to morality? Is this the end of human nature? The dramatic advances in DNA technology over the last few years are the stuff of science fiction. It is now not only possible to clone human beings it is happening. For the first time since the creation of the earth four billion years ago, or the emergence of mankind 10 million years ago, people will be able to choose their children's' sex, height, colour, personality traits and intelligence. It will even be possible to create 'superhumans' by mixing human genes with those of other animals for extra strength or longevity. But is this desirable? What are the moral and political consequences? Will it mean anything to talk about 'human nature' any more? Is this the end of human beings? Our Posthuman Future is a passionate analysis of the greatest political and moral problem ever to face the human race.

I'd expect a title like "Our Posthuman Future - Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution" to substantially address the consequences of the biotechnology revolution for our posthuman future. This text does neither. Neither does it, as some of its supporting reviewers suggest, prepare a reader interested in the biotech / bioethics debate for that discussion. Furthermore I'd expect a writer with such stunning credentials to bring a better informed less error-ridden perspective to these complex issues. Again, prepare to be disappointed: many claims appearing in the text are simply wrong.A good 66% of the text is bound up in a futile attempt to convince the reader of two extremely questionable points: 1. Modern thinking is misguided about "human nature", the only remedy being a return to pre-Kantian thinking about essences etc. 2. That any notion of human rights and ethics must be founded on a concept of human nature.Though the subject of a should-be text on the pedantics of contemporary rights talk, this would be allowable if his arguments were compelling and clearly written, and if additionally these points were then leveraged to comprehensively describe what life and policy might look like in a future where the implications of biotech development at all touches on these points. Unfortunately, we are instead gifted an open window into a confused mind struggling with fundamental concepts surrounding "human nature" and its connection to human rights and ethics (huge can of Renaissance-grade worms there), only to inevitably fail in the basic task of describing in any way what precisely human nature consists: since the crux of the entire text hinges on it one would think his positions would be clearly unpacked. Not so.Moving from the botched philosophical underpinnings of the author's position, perhaps he'll redeem himself with an imaginative and informed description of how we as a future society and as a species might address the inevitable realities of genetic modification for enhancement (very interesting), or even just for treatment (a bit tired)? Again the text unquestionably fails to deliver. Instead we are treated to an unflinchingly conservative position that the only way to combat negative outcomes is to pass the burden of biotech research regulation to political bodies which will be successful in hedging these outcomes to the degree that they are successful in orchestrating global consensus to outlaw biotech research. Nothing imaginative here, just the usual fear mongering.If you're looking for a description of global/local social policy in a future with responsible access to biotech-enabled human enhancements this is not what you're looking for. Personally I'm shocked that someone with such stellar credentials could turn out such impoverished thinking and writing. Very disappointed.
