  • You Shall Be As Gods: Recombinant DNA: The immediate issue is safety; the ultimate issue is human destiny

  • Already the term "recombinant DNA" comes easily to the lips of legislators and television commentators. A few of them can even manage "deoxyribonucleic acid," which is what DNA stands for.

    DNA is the genetic material, the miraculous selfreplicatirig double helix of Watson and Crick, the marrow, soul, and substance of all earthly life. Molecular biologists have been tinkering with it for a couple of decades now, and only recently have they learned to slice it up and then stick it back together in new ways: hence recombinant DNA. Scientists have also discovered ways to transfer it from one living thing to another: to put genes from one kind of animal into a different kind, from bacteria into plants, or to put the newly spliced genes into just about any living cell.

  • The Multinational Enterprise as Symbol

  • Raymond Vemon
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    06 September 2018, pp. 37-43

  • The world we are obliged to inhabit, it sometimes seems, is being managed by a deity with an exceedingly wry sense of humor. This is the century in Which national governments have taken on the novel and difficult task of actively trying to promote the welfare of ordinary people. It is also the century in which technological forces have been pushing the individual states together and sharply reducing their autonomy. The multinational enterprise epitomizes the conflict. Created in part as a result of the technological forces, responding to the new opportunities those forces have generated, the multinational enterprise is widely seen as threatening the autonomy of the nation-state.
