Fukuyama, Francis, - Our Posthuman Future: consequences of the biotechnology revolution.

NY, Farrar Straus Giroux, (2002). 1st ed 1st ptg. VG in VG DJ. Laid in review of book by William G. Schulz from C & EN (Nov. 11 2002) with some markings. Fukuyama argues that the greatest. advances still to come will be in the life sciences & asks how the ability to modify human behavior will affect liberal democracy. He persuasively argues tht the ultimate prize of the biotechnology revoluton - intervention in the "germ line", the ability to manipulate the DNA of all of one person's descendants - will have profunds & potentially terrible consequences for our political order. He warns that today's Ritalin for boisterous boys could be tomorrow's abolition of human nature as we know it. Tinkering with biology threatens to diminish human dignity.
