The same team was also interested in predicting whether increased shell thickness would evolve as a result. To this ...

Playing God? The Ethics of Genetic Manipulation
... Genetic manipulation strikes many people as profoundly unnatural, against the natural order and (sometimes) against God’s order. Is this merely a subjective feeling, shared by some but not all, or does it have some stronger foundation? This argument seems in danger of proving either too much or too ...
