Unzipped genes : taking charge of baby making in the new millennium

Explains the biotechnology of the Human Genome Project in terms we can understand. Not limiting her bioethics to the realm of abstraction, the author maintains that her new bioethics of birth can lead to the end of abortion and unwanted pregnancy and the creation of a world in which people can achieve a greater solidarity with one another.
