Chapter 12 Partiality for Humanity and Enhancement
We consider a strategy for justifying bio-conservative opposition to enhancement according to which we should resist radical departures from human nature, not because human nature possesses any intrinsic value, but because it is our nature.

Chapter 12 Outcome measures and case definition
Before new interventions can be used in disease control programmes, it is essential that they are carefully evaluated in “field trials”, which may be complex and expensive undertakings. Descriptions of the detailed procedures and methods used in trials that have been conducted in the past have generally not been published. As a consequence, those planning such trials have few guidelines ava…

We then go on to discuss alternative configurations based on the use of sex-specific components and their effect on introduction thresholds. …
