To Be Or Not To Be . . .

 

            
             This paper will attempt to address what is perhaps the single most life altering issue facing.
             It is life altering in the utmost sense of the word, literally altering life as we.
             know it. Life on this planet has undergone some significant changes since the dawn of civilization;.
             the discovery of fire, the wheel, the industrial revolution, and the list goes on. The industrial.
             revolution brought perhaps the most significant changes to society as a whole, for it was at this.
             point that we moved from a fuedal society to a capitalist society. Industrialization took the men.
             off the land and put them into the positions of wage earners working for someone else, merely.
             supplying labor. Women on the other hand, were forced into the home looking after the child.
             rearing and looking after the man so he was able to go out into the world to sell his labor, the.
             domestication of women so to speak. This was never a healthy system as it made very clear the.
             divisions between those who had and those who had not, a division between the owners of the.
             means of production and the working class. Out of this division has arisen conflict, for it was.
             inevitable that the working class would come to resent the opportunities denied to them but so.
             freely given to others. The world has seen the result of this conflict in the form of tax revolts,.
             revolutionary wars, and misguided attempts at Marxism. These conflicts and revolutions have had.
             their effects on society but nothing significant or long lasting has prevailed. There is a new type of.
             revolution on the horizon which has the potential to not only change society as we know it, but if.
             we are not very vigilant in its use, has the potential to change the species itself. This new.
             revolution is a technological revolution of a different order, for this new technology tinkers with.
             the very heart of the species, the human Genome. Cloning, the reproduction of the ideal or.
             altered genome, has the potential to radically change life on earth.
