"These biotech terrors are far more likely to be unleashed in a world where the positive powers have relinquished biotech research and development. A society that's full of vibrant, productive and creative biotech companies is going to be far more alert to potential threats. "

An intelligent discussion on the threats and risks posed by new technologies. Its one sided discussion, and there are points I agree with and points I disagree with. Whats most interesting about this discussion is the perspective it offers on the effect of corporate globalization.
