Richard C. Lewontin, writing for the New York Book of Reviews:
“Nothing in history suggests that those who control and profit from material production can really be depended upon to devote the needed foresight, creativity, and energy to protect us from the possible negative effects of synthetic biology. In cases where there is a conflict between the immediate and the long-range consequences or between public and private good, how can that conflict be resolved? Can the state be counted on to intervene when a private motivation conflicts with public benefit, and who will intervene when the state itself threatens the safety and general welfare of its citizens?”
Harry Campbell
Reckless they are. Matters are worse. If no mistake have we've made, yet losing we are … a different game we should play. Stopped they must be; on intelligent action all depends.
