"In Genetic Enhancement and Technomoral Change, Rueda expertly combines insights from bioethics and philosophy of technology to investigate the morally transformative role of genetic enhancement technologies. With his anticipatory ethics task, he skillfully offers us a vision of the disruptive moral power of these technologies and presents us with a call to action."
