Dystopian Biotech Future?

Email This Entry

Posted by Arnold

In this essay, I argue that the means for regulating biotechnology are more dystopian than the ends that may come from the technology.


Will we curb freedom at the level of research, the level of development and marketing, at the level of consumption, or at all three?

I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT A BRIGHT AND HAPPY FUTURE IS THE FUTURE, BUT HISTORY HAS SHOWN US THAT GOOD THINGS ARE NOT MEANT TO LAST. HARDSHIP AND SUFFERING ARE THE ONLY REAL FUCTIONS OF OUR SPECIES, WITHOUT THIS THEIR WILL BE NO CHANGE IN HOW ARE SPECIES GOES ABOUT DESTROYING OUR PLANET. THEIR WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE IN SOCIET WHO WILL USE TECHNOLOGY FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT NOT THE BENEFIT OF MANKIND, THIS IS THE REAL FUTURE WE ALL MUST BLINDLY LOOK FORWARD TO.
