Publisher's Note
A provocative, far-reaching look at the brave new world of reprogenetic technologies--and how such will drastically reshape the family of tomorrow. National print and radio coverage.

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. 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 the dominance of a "genetic elite?" In clear, engaging, and accessible prose, Silver demystifies the science behind these and other thrinlling and frightening new possibilities, in a book that is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the hopes and dilemmas of the American family in the twenty-first century.

Industry Reviews
"No question is too speculative, remote or absurd for Silver, a Princeton University biologist and geneticist who teaches bioethics. He entertains even the wildest and most speculative motions because - as he argues persuasively - the future is already here."
New York Times Book Review - Paul Raeburn (01/11/1998)

"...Silver predicts, genetically enhanced people and "natural" humans will be so different that they will become "entirely separate species with no ability to cross-breed, and with as much romantic interest in each other as a current human would have for a chimpanzee."
Business Week - John Carey (02/02/1998)
