“Almost everybody is enthusiastic about the promise of biotechnology to cure disease and to relieve suffering.”

“Perhaps you could sympathize with those who seek to replace a dead child with a copy, or to copy a parent or a relative or even a celebrity.”

“We are enmeshed in a lineage that came from somewhere and is going to make way for the next generation.”

“We'll continue to heal human bodies through biotechnology but we'll also increasingly feed, clothe and house the world through bioengineered systems. Ultimately, there's no reason why live animals should be used in any part of our food or goods chain and we're working to make that a reality.”

“I believe that properly regulated research in stem-cell biotechnology will lead to many valuable improvements in medical treatment and that objections on religious or ethical grounds should be vigorously opposed.”
