Annotation:

Author: Joshua Lederberg. Date Written: December 19, 2000. KW: euphenics, eugenics; cloning; citation index; "Poetry speak more bravely than Science" is clearly an allusion to Aldous Huxley, Brave New World. OCR is not too satisfactory.; "Now we can define man -- genotypically at least he is six feet of a particular molecular sequence of C H O N P atoms, the length of DNA tightly coiled in the nucleus of his provenient egg and in the nucleus of every adult cell, 5 billion paired nucleotide units long." -- a premonition of the Human Genome project, and of my quizzical attitude to so uncompromising a reductionist perspective.; "solution to homograft problem .. very near" -- history did not quite bear that out, but basic issue of organ supply is with us, even if not on the scale I contemplate[d]; More: 1/8/00 2/20/00 12/19/00
