    1. Remaking Eden: How Genetic Engineering and Cloning Will Transform the American Family (Ecco) by Lee M. Silver Perfect Transaction! Could a child have two genetic mothers? Will parents someday soon be able to choose not only the physical characteristics of their children-to-be, but their personalities and talents as well? Will genetic enhancement ultimately lead to a split in the human species? In this brilliant, provocative, and necessary book, Lee M. Silver takes a cautiously optimistic look at the scientific advances that will allow us to engineer life in ways that were unimaginable just a few short years ago— indeed, in ways that go far beyond cloning. In clear, engaging, and accessible prose, Silver demystifies the science behind a myriad of thrilling and frightening new possibilities, in a book that is essential reading for
    2. anyone who wants to understand the hopes and dilemmas of the American family in the twenty-first century. Personal Review: Remaking Eden: How Genetic Engineering and Cloning Will Transform the American Family (Ecco) by Lee M. Silver This book is an excellent read for anyone with an interest in reproductive technologies. I submit that it is important for everyone as the issues in the book are rapidly becoming less science-fiction and more reality. Cloning and genetic selection are especially important. Both positive and negative scenarios resulting from the use of these and other technologies are presented. They may seem far-fetched at times but nonetheless possible. I had the privilege of taking Prof. Silver's class at Princeton and listen to him lecture on this book and others on the subject, and I am so glad that I did. Right now most people are terrified of the unknown future of cloning, genetic engineering, and other technologies. Please, read this book before making up your mind! The best part about this book is that it does not get too bogged down in technical details. A non-scientist can read it and understand, but someone who knows more about the scientific aspects can still learn from it. There's something for everyone!
