Bioethics
"Bioethics"—the study of the moral issues surrounding advances in human genetic technology—is one of the hottest issues in America today. There is widespread confusion and uncertainty about whether cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and genetic engineering are morally desirable, morally wrong, or some inextricably intertwined combination of the two.

In my comprehensive article, "Biotech vs. 'Bioethics'," I explain how biotechnology is an unmitigated moral good, how the two dominant schools of "bioethics" today are fundamentally hostile to biotechnology—and I offer a rational, pro-biotechnology alternative to the views of today's "bioethicists."
