John Harris (6) (1945–)

It is good to know that there are professional ethicists like Harris who see nothing inherently wrong with such things as human cloning and genetic engineering and who refute stick-in-the-mudders like Leon Kass and Francis Fukuyama. But in retaliation for his insulting and puzzlingly inconsistent comment that to be avowedly transhumanist is to be quasi-religious (p 38), I will say that the book's argumentation style would indicate that the whole "discipline" of ethics is hopelessly woolly show more and subjective! show less

Focuses much on death and meaning of life, as such.

Poorly written. The first twenty pages were awful, so forget it.

for a 1st yr course on science and technology studies.
