"We are not criticizing the uses of biotechnology, nor are we troubled particularly by human desires. These desires are in fact the source of much that is good about us. The question is: What happens when these natural human desires become empowered by these technological means?" (AMERICAN ENTERPRISE) This article is composed of excerpts from a recent panel discussion on the new report of the President's Council on Bioethics which examines the bioethical decisions that will need to be made regarding the uses of future technology.
