add to cart   close window

The article briefly examines the scientific basis of the expected developments, their probable nature and the responsibility they present to both scientists and the public. What has happened in biology in the last two decades is not a revolution but a scientific fulfillment. Modern biology started about 100 years ago with the foundation of researcher Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, which ties together all living organisms into a single historical process of parenthood. The achievement of the last decades is the understanding of the nature, function and changes of the organic substrate of evolution, the genetic material, human responds and what kind of descendants it will in turn produce.
