Rarely has a topic been discussed with such emotion and controversy. Never before have the blessings and curses of a new technology been so closely intertwined. Genetic engineering can bring us victory over previously incurable, deadly diseases. But out of control, it can also turn Dr. Frankenstein's cabinet into a terrifying reality. For humankind is intervening ever more radically in the genome. Will the floodgates open? Where is the line between what is permitted and what is forbidden? The roots of this "research without limits" reach far back into the past.

Thus, a creature that believes more in creation slips into its own role. And the "second Genesis" begins.
