Of course no one mentions that Charles might have a motive to promote just such a theology. He sits as heir apparent to a throne simply because he is the first born carrying his mother's genes. The Windsor family sits on the throne simply because of a hold-over of the idea that some men are genetically meant to rule while others were meant to obey. God forbid we start down a road which could undermine this concept even further. Of course, in the long run, the beneficiaries of genetic technology will be the poor and the hungry and that is not something to worry a professional parasite.
New biotechnologies do scare some people to death.
And Charles Windsor is not alone. Each new scientific discovery is liable to the same assault. A growing alliance of the Religious Right and the Environmental Left screams with rage as man's knowledge increases. In 1752 a funny looking man flew a kite on the banks of Schuylkill. From that little experiment Benjamin Franklin discovered the principles of electricity as exhibited in lightning.
