| dc.description.abstract | Mark Walker has put forth a proposal which he calls the Genetic Virtue Program or GVP,1 whose kernel is that it is both possible and desirable to improve virtue by pre-implantation selection or in utero engineering. Walker lists caveats to his thesis, although he consistently implies that their validity is doubtful by stating at each instance that he is including them “merely for the sake of completeness.” | |
