The Implications Of Biological Technologies

There are a lot of different ways in which things can have impacts, but the enhancement side of things is also a possibility, more through the neuroscience than through the genetics. It’s possible to conceive of genetic enhancement, but I think that’s 50 to 100 or longer, or more years out. In the sense that when you’re changing genes in people, that’s a pretty serious risk operation procedure. We don’t know... We’ve tried for 30 years to do it as gene therapy in people with the disease, with largely disastrous results.
