Rethinking "Liberal Eugenics": Reflections and Questions on Habermas on Bioethics. Prusak, B. G. Hastings Center Report, 35(6):31–42, 2005.
abstract   bibtex   
In the new "liberal eugenics," children could be genetically improved as long as the enhancements let children choose from among a wide range of ways to live their lives. The German political philosopher Jürgen Habermas has opened a debate with the proponents of this view. Habermas suggests that a person could not really regard her life as her own if she lived with a body that somebody else had, without asking her opinion, "enhanced" for her.
