Abstract

The article offers information on artificial synthesis of new life forms. The author noted that a substantial use of life-synthesis and genetic engineering will act directly upon society or industry, and in the rapid social and industrial revolution which has manifested the last century. He also emphasized that the genetic engineering of man is a concern which attracts sensational treatment, and at the same time brings out the innate fears of man. He also posed the questions whether it is essential for man to rely on genetic engineering to increase human intelligence, and whether this can also lessen human aggression.
