Featured Replies

Article by New Zealand based dr Guy David HATCHARD, who formerly was a senior manager at Genetic ID, a global food safety testing and certification laboratory.

The dream of biotechnology is a new age of health, happiness and human achievement. James Watson, who discovered the double helix structure of DNA 70 years ago, was full of hope:

“We used to think that our fate was in our stars, but now we know that, in large measure, our fate is in our genes,…recombinant DNA is likely the safest revolutionary technology ever developed, and we should not postpone experiments with clear benefits for fear of hypothetical risks….I want to see cancer cured in my lifetime”  Watson has enthused.

Watson is now in a nursing home aged 96 and cancer is not cured. In fact it has become rampant. Somewhere along the way, did the dream of biotechnology become a nightmare? If so, it is time to wake up.

How did we get here and what does the future hold?

So much has been bastardized, it's hard to tell what is what.
