Considering the impact of biotechnology on human societies can be emotionally and intellectually exhausting. Moral, legal, economic and spiritual structures that inform and support our existence require a new fluidity that is simultaneously de-stabilizing and re-constructive. The rapid acceleration of research, development and application in neuroscience, reproduction and agriculture force us to reach more deeply than ever to draw up the essence of what it means to be be human. Questions that have had no historical foundation now have to be asked. Each answer has merit.
The most weighty and persuasive perspective in setting public policy for research, development, and access to the benefits and risks of the biotechnologies should be the collective voice of personal experience outside of the laboratory and the halls of academia.
Let's inform each other.
There is plenty to discuss!
