Francis Fukuyama, who notably proclaimed the end of history in his last great work, now declares that humanity's biological clock is ticking, and time is running out for our leaders to make decisions that will guide the development of biotechnology. Blending the disparate realms of science, philosophy, economics, politics and religion in an ecumenical, well-balanced book, Fukuyama analyzes the implications of advances in biology, genetics, and a slew of new sciences that you've probably never even heard of. In so doing, he never skirts issues of right and wrong, concepts generally relegated to the sidelines in scientific texts. getAbstract.com highly recommends this book to all readers, and suggests that it be made mandatory reading for scientists and politicians alike.
