I agree - Stock only really presents evidence that genetic engineering
*will* happen, not an argument that we should welcome this or that
it's beneficial for mankind. That argument is one of my goals for my
own book.
Sadly, while Stock's book is much better than Fukuyama's, the latter
seems to have sold many more copies.
