It is also overtaking us so fast that if we don't mount an urgent discussion, it will almost be too late. If anyone would like to debate gene tech, patenting and the genetic heritage I have a complete research resource for ethical discussion at: http://matu1.math.auckland.ac.nz/~king/Preprints/book/genes/genes.htm It has everything from germ-line to terminators and patenting. I have tried to include every development in major science and ethics articles from 1995 to the present. So that the debate can be fully-informed. love, Chris. _____________________________________________________________________________ Chaos is the Mother of Invention - Necessity the Offspring _____________________________________________________________________________ Chris KING, Phone: 0064-9-3737599 # 8818 Senior Lecturer Mathematics Fax: 0064-9-3737457 University of Auckland E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Private Bag 92019 AUCKLAND, New Zealand. http://matu1.math.auckland.ac.nz/~king/Preprints/book/genesis.htm "Genesis of Eden" - Alta Vista Search
