With current fertility technology producing septuplets in humans and cloning techniques yielding mediagenic sheep like Dolly, Silver (molecular/evolutionary biology and neuroscience, Princeton U.) leavens the ethical debates with cautious optimism over the directions in which genetic engineering may be leading: parent "designer" selection of their unborn's traits, enhancement of the human species, multiple parents, even pregnant men. In this context, his discussion for general readers on defining life becomes even more crucial. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
