This Old House: The Human Genome and Human Body as Objects of Historic Preservation

Abstract

Should scientific efforts to make enduring modifications in the human genome and the human form be constrained not only by prudence but by reverence? Would sudden or comprehensive changes in our genomes or our bodies threaten objects or processes of great historic and cultural value? Such fears of destruction and discontinuity are exaggerated and confused.
