Bayertz’s book, GenEthics: Technological Intervention in Human Reproduction as a Philosophical Problem, is primarily offered as a wide-ranging reflection on the fundamental principles ingredient in philosophical approaches to the issues raised by genetic technology. His goal, in sum, is to constitute a new field of inquiry within bioethics. In passing, he reflects on many specific issues, but his focus intentionally stays at the philosophical level of general approaches and perspectives on the enterprise of modifying genetic structures and the char¬acteristics of future human beings. Our approach in this review is to state and critically evaluate his “constitutive” enterprise, both as to its claimed neutrality and its ultimate success. We are less than fully satisfied with his account of neu¬trality, as well as his statement of what the issues and options truly amount to, but we end up commending this text as a major contribution to its field as well as bioethics generally.
