Notes

  1. Our current fascination of hero-myth stories about ever new breakthroughs in the genetic science is likely to crumble in the future—when the whole extent of flexibility of the self-organization of the generic base becomes revealed. Already now we know of the multitude of mutations—and their self-repairs—yet the implication of such flexibility for the limits of practical applicability of gene technologies in societies are not known.
