Instead, one of the coaches walked him over to the physical-education department, which had agreed to take him. There Brian remained for the next two years.

Even though mankind has been playing God since biblical times, rearranging the germ lines of crops and farm animals to suit human needs, researchers do not advocate extending such genetic tinkering to people. But medical scientists have an obligation to protect humanity against disease and pestilence. Once it becomes possible to eradicate a gene that causes a fatal disorder, and thus keep it from passing to future generations, it will be criminal not to do so. As director of the Human Genome Project, James Watson contends that the research...
