Medicating Children
Get it here:
Medical technology creates all kinds of fascinating questions, one of which is, "Where, if at all, should we stop?" What's the difference between giving an amputee a prosthetic and making a cyborg? If I can genetically modify my fetus so it won't have Down Syndrome, why can't I also modify it so it is beautiful? Or, white? In this book, Carl Elliott proffers a possible criterion: we should draw a line at making people "well." Once they wish to be "better than well," we should stop.
I found this to be an excellent book for considering limits, but it is at least worth the read for its examples. My favorite: there are people that are so convinced they are actually Civil War amputees they have cut off their own limbs without anesthetic. They went to doctors, but all doctors refused to perform the amputation because the limbs were healthy. If you were the doctor, what would you have done?
