“Vaccination is of course an enhancement technology and one that has been long accepted (since the smallpox vaccine was first used at the end of the eighteenth century). Interestingly, there has been very little resistance to this form of enhancement.”
John Harris, Enhancing Evolution: The Ethical Case for Making Better People

“Those who think that ensoulment takes place at conception have an interesting problem to account for the splitting of one soul into four, and for the destruction of three souls when the four embryos are recombined into one, and to account for (and resolve the ethics of) the destruction of three individuals, without a single human cell being removed or killed. These possibilities should perhaps give us pause in attributing a beginning of morally important life to a point like conception.”
John Harris, Enhancing Evolution: The Ethical Case for Making Better People

“But more importantly, as we have seen, I do have a powerful interest in living in a society and indeed in a world in which scientific research is vigorously pursued and is given a high priority.”
John Harris, Enhancing Evolution: The Ethical Case for Making Better People
