About this Book

This title offers an in-depth examination of bioethics as presented in Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, as well as contemporary perspectives on this issue. Discussions include the misuse of science for power gains, the balance of good and evil inherent in certain scientific endeavors, the dangers of overpopulation, the idea of trading freedom for happiness, and the relationship between genetic science and civil liberties. --from publisher description.
