Should people be allowed to screen embryos for intelligence? If we could invent a safe drug that would ensure a pregnant woman would bear heterosexual children, should she be free to take it?
At what point along the path of human biotechnology do we threaten the essence of what it means to be human? In changing our emotional landscape, does Prozac cross that line? Are we already posthuman?
Francis Fukuyama considers these issues, and the more mundane such as cloning, in his fascinating ``Our Posthuman Future.'' Fukuyama, professor of international political ...
