About this product
Product Information
This collection, edited by William Kristol and Eric Cohen, chronicles the start of the great national debate over stem cell research. It looks back, beginning with selections from Aldous Huxley and C.S. Lewis, who first imagined the possibility of a Brave New World many decades ago. It looks forward, moving on to the current debate over human cloning and stem cells, including articles, essays, speeches and testimony from genetic enthusiasts and critics, scientists and moralists, politicians and scholars. An original introduction by Kristol and Cohen maps out the major disagreements, the questions ahead, and their own view that America's unchecked faith in technological progress needs a radical reconsideration.

Reviews
An interesting read, The Future Is Now should alert us all to the need for scientific literacy among a populace that will elect tomorrow's decision makers., Kristol and Cohen have edited a reader, The Future Is Now, that aims to present fairly many sides of a complex issue. In the main they have succeeded., For those with archival interest to the history of this debate, there may be no more useful primer to conservative arguments over human nature and the limits of science., This compilation will attract not only those struggling to understand the ethical debate over bioscience but also those trying to predict the political fortunes of the Republican right., Morally serious people will be grateful to have this collection on hand as America faces the challenge nicely stated in the editor's closing reflections.
