Genetic determinism

Ted Peters points out the duplicity of genetic determinism: “The growing myth of genetic determinism blows first in one direction: if we are programmed totally by our DAN< then what we think is human freedom is in fact a delusion. Then the myth blows the opposite way: if we can apply our best engineering technology to DNA, then we can gain control over nature and guide our own evolutionary future. The genes determine the future; we want to determine the genes.”
