Some may smile and may feel that this is but a new version of the old dream of the perfection of man. It is that, but it is something more. The old dreams of the cultural perfections of man were always sharply constrained by his inherent, inherited imperfections and limitations... We now glimpse another route - the chance to ease and consciously perfect beyond our present vision this remarkable product of two billion years of evolution.
