ON THE EIGHTH DAY: MAKING BABIES PERFECT

Gwynne Basen
Canada
1992

The power to control human evolution is now within our grasp, thanks to developments in reproductive and genetic technology. But who will wield that power? Will scientists and doc­tors decide who should and who should not be born? Will women have the right to say no to technology? In this second of a two-part series, genetic technology and the emerging public debate are put into the spotlight.
