Enhancing Mankind is a thought-provoking book that delves into the world of genetic biology and genome editing technologies, and the ethical challenges that come along with them. In this book, the author takes us on a journey through the history of genetic biology, from the discovery of DNA to the latest innovation in the field – the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which allows for quick, efficient, and economical modification of the genome.

The book also sheds light on the ethical implications of genome editing, including the editing of non-pathological traits and the addition of desirable characteristics to a person’s genome. The author analyzes the accusations made against genome editing technologies and discusses the potential risks of resurrecting eugenics.

Furthermore, the book explores the idea of an ideal post-genomic world, where fair equality of opportunities (FOE) is followed, but could still produce an unfair society. The author proposes a modification of the Rawlsian principle to address this possibility. The book also includes an insightful interview with Professor Marco Crescenzi of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, conducted by the author during their research on CRISPR, genetics, and ethics.

Enhancing Mankind is a must-read for anyone interested in the cutting-edge advancements in genetic biology and genome editing technologies, and the ethical challenges that they pose. This book presents a balanced and comprehensive analysis of the topic and provides valuable insights that will enrich the reader’s understanding of the field.
