Diary of a Mad Law Professor
Williams, Patricia J. | February 2, 1998 issue

The article presents information related to scientific cloning in the U.S. Economies of genetic hoarding have already started to mushroom into new forms of wealth, family planning becoming a matter of literal genetic investment. Birth by chance or accident is recently but resoundingly and ideologically passe. The biological movement of random adaptation that tends to cast off old forms as a way of lurching into the future is challenged as never before. Similarly, the contemporary "globalizing" of everything from economy to the people strikes as problematic because, despite the promises of diversity and choice, one is in fact capitulating to ever more stringently uniform standards and practices.
