I saw Dr. McGee Speak at University of Minnesota

It is amazing to me that the author is so young, because he is an excellent and interesting speaker. I bought The Perfect Baby after I saw him speak at our Student Convocation. He was so inspirational that I decided to major in bioethics.
A cool read

This book was a great way to get to know the people who work on genetics and new reproductive technologies. I read the book for my genetics class but I loved it anyway! It tells the history and the science and ethics, but I liked that it is so well written and so human.
A great book all the way around.

This book changed our minds about using BRCA-1 genetic testing. It is the best $11 we spent--about the same amount as a single prenatal vitamin! The history part is really interesting. We shared this book with our friends and it is being discussed at our church after the minister saw it discussed on C-SPAN. There really isn't much bad to say.
