Essay Contest: $300 Prize

"It was the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn."
-Victor Frankenstein

Please respond to the following in approximately 1500 words:

Human cloning, embryonic stem cell research, in vitro fertilization, pre-implantation genetic screening, designer babies, organ transplantation, patented mice, cryogenics - biotechnology offers humans ever greater mastery over the biological world, our origins, our nature and our fate. Are there limits to what we should do? Are we crossing sacred boundaries with our science, assuming for ourselves prerogatives that were never meant for humankind? Or are we merely using the tools we have been given to improve the lives of our fellow creatures?

Top prize in value of $300 and other prizes may be awarded. Please submit papers to marjorielytle@depauw.edu. Entries will be judged by the Commons Project Steering Committee, consisting of faculty, staff, student, and other community representatives. The Commons Project is funded by a grant from the Metanexus Institute.
