Right/Wrong: How Technology Transforms Our Ethics

By Juan Enriquez

Book Overview

A lively and entertaining guide to ethics in a technological age.

Most people have a strong sense of right and wrong, and they aren't shy about expressing their opinions. But when we take a polarizing stand on something we regard as an eternal truth, we often forget that ethics evolve over time. Many shifts in the right versus wrong pendulum are driven by advances in technology. Our great-grandparents might be shocked by in vitro fertilization; our great-grandchildren might be shocked by the messiness of pregnancy, childbirth, and unedited genes. In Right/Wrong, Juan Enriquez reflects on what happens to our ethics as technology makes the once unimaginable a commonplace occurrence.

Wrong is when you select “facts “ to fit your narrative

It’s my second book by this author. I am a mature woman who has experienced three different forms of government. I am appalled at the clearly personal agenda this author tries to present his opinions as facts. I suffered through his books, checking the “facts” he uses to derive at conclusions. I strike Juan Enriquez off my list of authors worthy of my attention.
