The burden of proof
on the impossibility of technology assessment for the human genome project
pp. 173-177
Abstract
The editors asked me to elaborate a bit on a point I made during the conference at a panel discussion, namely on the complexity of natural processes and the warning it gives us, not to tinker about with it: If it were not for other reasons then for the one reason that we cannot assess the consequences.
