TH: Genetic Viability
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Tree-House -
I just received my new copy of 'Deeper Ecology: Essays On
Ecological Spirituality,' by David Doyle, founder of WED
(World Ecology Digest). You can find the WWW-site for Wild
Side Publishing, which is also linkable from our Tree-
House pages, located at:
"http://home.aol.com/deepereco/"
The book's shortest piece is timely in the wake of recent
world news of an adult mammal cloning. (For the record, I
think that Doyle is an excellent writer. Also, I do not
share what seems to be the common consensus that sheep-
cloning is intrinsically perverse and dangerous. Plenty
of other current developments are more disturbing and corrupt
than this medical research is, although the potential for
commercial abuses is admittedly quite high. Everyone reading
this has probably eaten a laboratory-cloned vegetable today.)
Genetic Viability
-----------------
They say science will find answers to every question. And, in
my time, I hope I never live to see the day when science can
create life. For on that day, if it ever comes to pass, nothing
will remain sacred, and just as well, you should throw any ideas
of theology out the window.
- David Andrew Doyle (1996)
