When in 2018 the world"s first genetically modified people were born - Chinese twins to Lulu and Nana, humanity met with opportunities that recently seemed to be fantastic. But at the same time, new risks and questions appeared. Is it possible to use genetic engineering to prevent diseases? And to choose the color of the eyes or the character traits of future children? How far can we go in a change in the genome? Thinking on these issues, the Swedish scientific journalist Tourill Cornfelt visited the Eco clinic in South Korea, the oncological hospital in China, the biohacers laboratory in the United States, met with scientists, patients, public figures and parents who want to change the genes of their children. In his book, Cornfelt talks about the rapid development of genetic technologies that is happening right now, about the potential consequences of these processes and new ethical dilemmas that humanity will inevitably encounter
