演讲题目：Biotechnology and the Human Future
提纲：
In the dramatic changes brought about by advances in biotechnology, there is, at once, an evident dignity and a danger: our powers of comprehension and control of the natural world can be used not only for healing but now also for purposes beyond therapy, in the production of unnatural pleasures and unnatural competitive social advantage. Against the background of our evolutionary origins, natural embodiment and biosocial rhythm of life, we consider three areas of potential technological alteration--- natural procreation, neurologic functioning and aging--- and the resulting consequences for personal, social and spiritual life and human dignity.
