"This divide, between those who celebrate the transformative power of science and those who fear it, is both broad and profound....one group most fearful of the social change wrought by technology and the other most fearful of the oppressive overreaching of a government bent on controlling those changes....Bioethics should be a field that helps society to evolve, not one that helps it to remain stagnant."
Alta Charo, "Passing on the right: conservative bioethics is closer than it appears," Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics , Summer 2004 v32 i2 p307-8
