Today We Try To Identify A Gene

In 15 Years We'll Have All The Sequence, A List Of The Genes Everyone Has In Common And Those That Differ Among People. We Know Only Something Like A Tenth Of 1 Percent Of The Sequence At The Moment.

We Know Specific Genes Are Turned On In Specific Cells, But We Don't Know To What Extent This Happens.

Biology Will Relate Every Human Gene To The Genes Of Other Animals And Bacteria, To This Great Chain Of Being.

Scientists Tend To Be Skeptical, But The Weakness Of The Community Of Science Is That It Tends To Move Into Preformed Establishment Modes That Say This Is The Only Way Of Doing Science, The Only Valid View.

We Haven't Been Able Yet To Determine In Terms Of Genes What Makes A Human Being A Human And Not Another Mammal.
