Fülszöveg

'As earth-shaking as the atom bomb/ says the author, are some of the discoveries the biologists have up their sleeves. And not in some distant, science-fictional future either, but within the lifetime of many now living. Already the transplanting of human hearts, widely hailed as a surgical triumph, brings unease to some, and a sick foreboding. What else does the future hold, as man tends more and more to usurp the functions of nature? Life-a living, self-duplicating organism -created in the laboratory from inert chemicals. A child born a hundred years after its father's death. Ten, twenty, a hundred identical human beings brought into the world by a process in which sex plays no part. The human life-span extended to 150 years or more. Control of mind, mood and memory by drugs and other means. No, this is not science fiction. The author gives chapter and verse for each one.

'As earth-shaking as the atom bomb/ says the author, are some of the discoveries the biologists have up their sleeves. And not in some distant, science-fictional future either, but within the lifetime of many now living. Already the transplanting of human hearts, widely hailed as a surgical triumph, brings unease to some, and a sick foreboding. What else does the future hold, as man tends more and more to usurp the functions of nature? Life-a living, self-duplicating organism -created in the laboratory from inert chemicals. A child born a hundred years after its father's death. Ten, twenty, a hundred identical human beings brought into the world by a process in which sex plays no part. The human life-span extended to 150 years or more. Control of mind, mood and memory by drugs and other means. No, this is not science fiction. The author gives chapter and verse for each one. Some may find this an intriguing preview of a brave new world; others may shudder at a glimpse of hell to come. But very, very few, outside the laboratories, have any idea what the future holds, or what are the problems-legal, financial, emotional, moral -that we are going to have to face. The time to solve those problems is now, not when they are already upon us. Gordon Rattray Taylor, until recently Editor of BBC2's 'Horizon' science programme, is the author of The Science of Life, Sex in History, and other books. He is also well known for 'Focus', his lively and wide-ranging column in Science Journal. Vissza
