Greg Stock asks: What is the relationship between the revolutions in information and biology? He argues for the importance of flesh. But what he cares about is our ability to "adjust and modify" our biology. "This will revolutionize health care and medicine, of course, but it will change the way we have children, how we manage our emotional states, probably change the human life span itself,... and it will carry us to questions of what it means to be a human being." [Close to accurate quote] Greg reminds us that we're at a unique time in the history of the universe and everything will be different. [Yes, this is too much boosterism for my taste.] Posted
