Listen to a short interview with Michael Sandel. Host: Chris Gondek. Producer: Heron & Crane. Breakthroughs in genetics present us with a promise and a predicament. The promise is that we will soon be able to treat and prevent a host of debilitating diseases. The predicament is that our newfound genetic knowledge may enable us to manipulate our nature - to enhance our genetic traits and those of our children. Although most people find at least some forms of genetic engineering disquieting, it is not easy to articulate why. What is wrong with re-engineering our nature? "The Case against Perfection" explores these and other moral quandaries connected with the quest to perfect ourselves and our children. Michael Sandel argues that the pursuit of perfection is flawed for reasons that go beyond safety and fairness. The drive to enhance human nature through genetic technologies is objectionable because it represents a bid for mastery and dominion that fails to appreciate the gifted character of human powers and achievements. Carrying us beyond familiar terms of political discourse, this book contends that the genetic revolution will change the way philosophers discuss ethics and will force spiritual questions back onto the political agenda. In order to grapple with the ethics of enhancement, we need to confront questions largely lost from view in the modern world. Since these questions verge on theology, modern philosophers and political theorists tend to shrink from them. But our new powers of biotechnology make these questions unavoidable. Addressing them is the task of this book, by one of America's preeminent moral and political thinkers.

评分概括的来说,桑德尔反对的是优生学和基因工程等在科学上看起来可以使人类更完美的东西。当然桑德尔对此作出了一个界限的划分,单纯的作为治疗手段以恢复人体健康本身的手段自然不在反对之列。 而反对这些的原因,有一句话来概括说是优生学和基因工程的问题是它代表了...
评分对桑德尔不了解的读者朋友,亦可从此书入手反思到很多,同时也反照他的思想,得到关于道德隐忧与伦理困境的共感。 赵汀阳先生的导论“完美是最好的吗”写的非常不错,直接点明这是桑先生从科学技术(基因)改善人自身之自然性质的问题入手,尝试去处理关于未来的理解。然而...

By embracing the allure and freedom of genetic engineering, humans may cure more diseases and have more control on themselves and descendants. However, we're also likely to lose the chance of fair competition, the appreciation of life and talent, and the respect for hard-working at the same time.
评分呵呵,看来我要从Sandel毕业了。不是特别喜欢这本,读起来怪怪的。特别是干细胞研究≠杀人最后结论非常奇葩——只要顾虑了一些管理和法律问题就可以解决了?没太大说服力真的。但是hyper-parenting以及科技绑架自由这两个论述很thought-provoking。
评分看评论才知道作者Michael Sandel是在哈佛讲《Justice》那位啊。Wow. 书本身三星半吧,有点困。
评分看了三本书,这本和《金钱不能买什么》写得更专精深入,印象更深。 将自己视为自然、上帝或命运的产物,就不会为自己是何模样承担全部责任。我们越是能够控制自己的遗传天赋,天赋本身以及如何使用天赋带来的责任负重也就越大。 关于胚胎是不是“人”那段也很有意思。
评分帅气,结论你们自己去想吧。哲学家就是傲娇。
