Beliefs and Identities

Abstract

We are on the edge of an extraordinary new frontier in the human story when we will be able to manipulate the genetic code-ours and the code of others-creating new synthetic forms of human life, and perhaps growing up beyond contemporary humanness. Does this scare you ? Does it raise deep ethical questions ? Well, whether or not it doesnʼt matter, says Adrian Woolfson, because itʼs going to happen anyway.
