Frances McDormand Quotes
I have not mutated myself in any way.
Bruni, Frank. "A Star Who Has No Time for Vanity." The New York Times, 15 Oct. 2014.
Gore who generally was a progressive on almost all issues, was quite conservative when it came to human genetic manipulation and cloning. Scientists for whom Gore was a favorite politician based on his leadership of digital technology and the Internet and his Nobel prize winning work on environmentalism, but his stance in this quotation was puzzling to many.
Critics of her position observe that the same objections could describe the decisions of what we teach children today. There is much disagreement about what should be taught.

What he thought was conceivable in the 1970’s seemed almost certain to come to pass 30 years later. Scientists had already altered the evolution of various plants and animals, and the complete human genome had been sequenced. The question will be not whether man will be able to control and modify his own evolution, but how should this be done and who should decide it. We have realized that man has already—unintentionally—altered the evolution of many species from passenger pigeons which are now extinct and the dog which coevolved with humans. Arguably, man’s development of the ability to control his own evolution is an evolutionary development itself. One great question for society is whether it is better to alter evolution unknowingly or in a planned, relatively controlled manner. For man to participate in the design of human evolution will be the nightmare of the Creationists who insist that evolution is too complicated to be somewhat of a random process and that there must be a designer who they assume is God. When man becomes the designer, that will be very disturbing. For most theologians, there will be little difficulty with the notion that God chose the mechanism of evolution and chose humans to give the intellect and knowledge to implement and design the evolutionary process.
