What is a Human?
Scholars claim that if the public has particular definitions of a human they will treat others like objects or animals. This book examines these claims and finds that some definitions do lead to maltreatment, but the definitions of a majority of the public are unlikely to do so.

The History and Future of Bioethics
Evans closely examines the history of the bioethics profession.
The History and Future of Bioethics
How do we as a society decide whether biotechnologies are ethical? For decades, professional bioethicists have served as a mediator. John H. Evans closely examines the history of the bioethics profession, and proposes a radical solution to the current crisis of mistrust.
The Human Gene Editing Debate
For decades, the debate on human gene-editing has identified and agreed upon certain limits that draw the line between ethical and unethical territory: for example, applications for diseases are accepted, but not for enhancements. However, society keeps pushing the limits, as seen with the advent of CRISPR technology and the birth of the first genetically modified babies in China. John H. Evans rethinks how we discuss and debate these collective limits, which havelong been characterized as a slippery slope. He examines past, present, and future arguments, and argues which limits can hold and which cannot, before we reach the dystopian bottom.

Provides a brief biographical sketch of Dr. John Evans, for whom the City of Evanston, Illinois, was named. He has had a greater influence in the life of the City of Evanston and of Northwestern University, and has done more to create our traditions and to determine the line of our development, than any other individual. The purpose of this biography is to present him as a physician, as a railroad builder, as a city builder, as an educator, as a religious leader, and as a political leader.
