The author argues that the neutralization of the laws of natural selection is an indisputable fact, not an opinion, and that modern medicine, by saving lives that were previously lost, is altering the course of our species. Through mathematical calculations, Odent invites the reader to question the true price of health progress and to explore how medical efficacy could be generating unforeseen consequences for humanity. An essential essay for those seeking to understand the ethical and biological dilemmas of contemporary medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichel Odent, recognized for his pioneering work in gentle birth, addresses a controversial thesis in this work: modern medicine, by interfering with natural selection, is modifying the genetic heritage of the human species. The book does not offer simplistic solutions, but rather poses fundamental questions about the biological cost of assisted survival. Based on concrete examples and reflections on natural history, the author analyzes how medical technology, from intervened births to fertility treatments, is redefining what it means to be human. Odent argues that, through relatively simple mathematical calculations, we can glimpse a future where dependence on medicine becomes unsustainable, and invites us to rethink our relationship with health, reproduction, and evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNeutralization of natural selection by modern medicine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eImpact of medical technology on human evolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBiological consequences of intervention in childbirth and reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between medical efficacy and genetic sustainability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEthics of assisted survival in the human species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at health professionals, especially obstetricians, midwives, and pediatricians, as well as students of medicine and biology interested in human evolution.
