But while doing that I'd been following a variety of fields in science and technology, including the work in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and so forth.

It is amazing that we, as intelligent beings, have come so far and learned so much. But human genetic engineering is old news. I believe that what one may lack genetically, he may also compensate for genetically. When studying "disabilities", should we not further examine what the individuals have that others do not via cause and effect?

Giants exist now as they have in the past.

Where does the mind come from? Where do individual thoughts come from? Where does all talent come from? Certainly these things can not come from Genetics alone.

Protein engineering is a technology of molecular machines - of molecular machines that are part of replicators - and so it comes from an area that already raises some of the issues that nanotechnology will raise.

India has the opportunity to be a leader in genetic engineering, It has institutions that no other country has.
