Summary

Tomorrow's science is something we need to think about today. This cutting-edge series looks at intriguing advances in science and technology and encourages readers to discuss the issues raised -- what are we capable of doing, should we do it, and what will the consequences of our actions be? Medical science is advancing all the time. We already have ways to lessen pain, replace damaged body parts, help an infertile couple have a child, even keep someone alive against all odds. But are all treatments ethical? Are we right to meddle with nature? Modern healthcare is expensive -- who should pay? How can we make sure medical progress benefits people worldwide? Book jacket.
