Quote examples
Mark Walport
British Scientist
Many families would like to avoid burdening future generations with inherited diseases such as haemophilia or severe developmental disorders. But most would think it wrong to edit the genes that influence the 'normal' range of human variation, from eye colour to intelligence or athletic ability.
Quote examples
Rudolf Steiner
Austrian Philosopher

Quote examples

Quote examples

Quote examples
