Excerpt
From
Enough:
What will you have done to your newborn when you have installed into the nucleus of every one of her billions of cells a purchased code that will pump out proteins designed to change her? You will have robbed her of the last possible chance for creating context--meaning--for her life. Say she finds herself, at the age of sixteen, unaccountably happy. Is it her being happy--finding, perhaps, the boy she will first love--or is it the corporate product inserted within her when she was a small nest of cells, an artificial chromosome now causing her body to produce more serotonin? Don't think she won't wonder: at sixteen a sensitive soul questions everything. But perhaps you've "increased her intelligence"--and perhaps that's why she is questioning so hard. She won't be sure if even the questions are hers.
