"Does human history have a future?

In his latest work, Aliens in America, political philosopher Peter Augustine Lawler argues that the advent of the new biotechnology - cloning, gene therapy, Prozac, Ritalin, and the like - means that we must consider anew the possibility that Americans are living near the end of history, a time when full equality will be achieved through the elimination of all that is distinctively human about us: the ability to passionately love and hate, to strive nobly for truth and wisdom, to search for God.

For the elimination of human distinctiveness is now being systematically pursued through the biochemical transformation of human nature."--BOOK JACKET.
