It is tempting, as science leaps and bounds beyond our layman comprehension, to seek refuge from change in the unchanging.
Genetic engineering in particular is a field that generates much refuge seeking.
Genetic engineers are partly to blame for allowing market forces to advance life forces, and for arrogantly dismissing valid safety concerns regarding allergic reactions, super weeds, mono cultures, and human cloning.
However, we now seem to be on the verge of life-improving advances in medicine that are great and good.
Doctors have constructed 7 bladders from 7 patient's own cells and implanted them back into the patients with "good long-term results in all of them."
Not all bad
Just imagine the potential!
How about growing a new heart with good long-term results?
How about replacing that bad kidney with a fresh one?
