A Harvard biologist and master inventor explores how new biotechnologies will enable us to bring species back from the dead, unlock vast supplies of renewable energy, and extend human life. In Regenesis, George Church and science writer Ed Regis explore the possibilities of the emerging field of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology, in which living organisms are selectively altered by modifying substantial portions of their genomes, allows for the creation of entirely new species of organisms. These technologies-far from the out-of-control nightmare depicted in science fiction-have the power to improve human and animal health, increase our intelligence, enhance our memory, and even extend our life span. A breathtaking look at the potential of this world-changing technology, Regenesis is nothing less than a guide to the future of life.

At this time of writing, The Mobi Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves has garnered 9 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

I am glad I read this book while writing mine on “Steering Human Evolution.” We converge in using the term “regenesis” and in considering leaping human evolution-resetting powers, though we differ in background and focus: This book deals with the significance, promises and technologies of synthetic biology, while I as a contemplative policy-scientist deal with the fateful choices on developing and using such knowledge and the requirements of steering regenesis for the better.The text is enlightening and covers well its core subject, bur there are a number of small problems and a major one. The small ones are illustrated by taking the Flynn effect seriously (p. 88) though it is very doubtful and surely too narrow; and hubris statements such as humanity making an “effort to colonize the universe” (p. 252). Also, the statement that “we continue our crusade for increased diversity” (p, 71) raises serious issues. Too much diversity may well break human societies. And reintroduction of Neanderthals (p. 141) would raise hair-raising moral and legal problems and have unpredictably and not necessarily beneficial consequences. I like the iconoclastic idea of “very specialized and highly trained parenting—well beyond the current random assignment of child to parent (p. 224). But this leads to the critical issue ignored in the book, namely who shall decide on and enforce glonslly required safeguards and regulations?Thus, the statement than “the march toward transhumanism, is not knowable in advance, it is at least within human control. And that should be a comforting thought (p. 242) is daydreaming. To globally control such processes, including in rogue states, requires nothing less than a strict global regime, up to a Conscientious Global Leviathan. The book quotes, rightly so, the view of Kurzweil that future technological change will be so rapid and profound that it will constitute “a rupture in the fabric of human history” (p. 242). But it does not draw the compelling conclusion namely, as i put it in one of my books “it is absurd to believe that everything is going to change, but politics will and can remain the same.“ The statement “probably no eugenics (government control of genetic inheritance) but heavily laden with W-genics (you-eu-genics, individual control over their own body genetics) and euphenics (changing traits by changing environments, drugs, and devices) (p. 261) raises the right questions, but is not aware of its doubtful assumptions and raises harsh issues rather them coping with them. A book on regenesis technologies is not obliged to consider socio-political implications. But the authors do make comments on them. If so the fundamental question who shall make all the fateful choices should at least be raised. Not doing so is, in my view, a serious lacunae. But in no way does it diminish the excellence of the book as far as emerging gene engineering and related technologies are concerned.Professor Yehezkel Dror
