Clone free | Fukuyama interview in Salon
by Jeremy at 6:18 am EDT, May 21, 2002

Maybe in 2053, when my clone is having coffee with your clone, the arguments in Francis Fukuyama's cautionary polemic "Our Posthuman Future: Consequences of the Biotechnology Revolution" will seem as quaint as the early opposition to railroads does today.

... Fukuyama told Salon why he thinks that the right to be cloned and to tinker with our offspring's genes aren't liberties that we should all enjoy, and what should be done to restrain the onrush of biotechnology.

This appears to be more oriented toward concerns about actions rather then concerns about thoughts. Therefore I find it more reasonable.

I am going to wait until I finish the book to comment.
