My PhD research made up the larger part of this NWO-funded project. The underlying idea was that normative discussions relating to innovations in human genomics can only be understood if we take into account the deep-philosophical understandings of human nature that people hold dear. If these understandings are destabilized by technological innovations, politics moves from its normal mode to a crisis mode.
