“ The symbiotic relationship between science and technology is illustrated convincingly by the parallel and collaborative development of genetics and genetic engineering. This relationship has produced an increasingly powerful force in society with ethical, legal, and political ramifications. Combined, they will be a powerful lobbying group for government funds as well as for favorable legislation.” 23
