My job is to provide the president with the richest possible consideration, so that he knows what is at stake in whatever decision he makes.

Almost everybody is enthusiastic about the promise of biotechnology to cure disease and to relieve suffering.

The benefits of biomedical progress are obvious, clear, and powerful. The hazards are much less well appreciated.

I've been opposed to human cloning from the very beginning.

Technological innovation is indeed important to economic growth and the enhancement of human possibilities.

There is a lot of hype and fear about this much-talked-about prospect of designer babies.

I'll tell you who doesn't have any personal responsibility. Companies like General Electric and others who pay absolutely no income tax.

It felt odd to be laughing during a firefight. Then again, if you can't laugh when you're about to die, when can you?

The hands are churches that worship the world.
