I really liked the concept but it was very difficult to get it to it with the concepts being used.  Still liked it just took a bit longer to get though it

This is, in some form, an introduction to human biology and cell structures. If you already know plenty about that, this may seem quite repetitive.

That aside, the discussions on IVF, gene editing and designing the next generation were really interesting.

This book isn't exactly what I was expecting but ending up being an insightful and inspiring read about the evolution of genetic science and the quandary of what makes us human.
