Over his illustrious career, John Harris has explored the most challenging bioethical questions with insight, engaging wit, and eloquence. In Enhancing Evolution, Harris does it again.

Harris rightly deserves his reputation for fearlessly following his ethical arguments wherever they lead.

Overprotecting intellectual property is as harmful as underprotecting it. Creativity is impossible without a rich public domain.

Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it's supposed to nurture.

People often mistake technology for a static picture. It's less like a picture and more like a movie. It's the velocity of technology innovation that matters. It's the acceleration.

People over the age of thirty were born before the digital revolution really started. We've learned to use digital technology-laptops, cameras, personal digital assistants, the Internet-as adults, and it has been something like learning a foreign language. Most of us are okay, and some are even expert. We do e-mails and PowerPoint, surf the Internet, and feel we're at the cutting edge.
