Abstract: Technologies for human germ‐line modification may soon enable humanity to create new types of human beings. Decisions about use of this power entail an unprecedented combination of difficulties: the stakes are immense, the unknowns are daunting, and moral principles are called into question. Evolved morality is not a sure basis for these decisions, both because of its inherent imperfections and because genetic engineering could eventually change humans' innate cognitive mechanisms. Nevertheless, consensus is needed on moral values relevant to germ‐line modification. These values could be based on characteristics of human beings that would remain constant regardless of revised genomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
