Modifying Our Genes: Theology, Science and ‘Playing God’

omy illustrates how decision-making might proceed based on a specific understanding of the patient’s interests, and would likely not conform with all different accounts of harm. In sum, this is a helpful, engaging, accessible book. It does not provide a complete guide for action, but for those who wish to think more about the meaning of harm, there are many other places to look. Amajor strength of the book is its discussion of a broad range of relevant considerations and arguments, with nuanced and clear analysis. Those who are interested in the subject but lacking background knowledge will benefit from reading this book, although I would recommend that they also read Nudge. For those who are already well-acquainted with nudge theory, and who wish to consider its application to medical ethics, this book is an excellent resource.
