02/11/2008: "Review"

The first review of Defending the Genetic Supermarket has appeared, in Medical Law Review. It's by Dr Gardar Arnason and I'm chuffed to say it's pretty damn favourable. (Would I be mentioning it here otherwise, you may reasonably wonder.) I've been kicking myself black and blue over some of the really obvious mistakes he's picked up, but I can't really complain about a review that concludes with:

‘The wide range of issues and arguments considered, clarity of discussion, and sharp analysis makes Defending the Genetic Supermarket an excellent introduction to the issues, with plenty of references for further reading. It is a brilliant contribution to the debates about ethical and policy issues in PGD, tissue typing and embryo selection. It should be required reading for anyone concerned with ethical and policy issues in PGD.’

Aw, shucks ...
