"Brave New World."
It appears on each and every stemcell and nano post on the Internet in the comments. While the commenter probably feels they are being profound by invoking the title of Huxley's work, they are simply reminding us of the worst possible scenario that they (with their pop culture education) can fathom. This is after all just one possible branch in a series of events. Something much worse could come of these discoveries, or hopefully something much better.
When humanity follows a similar path to that of a sci-fi author's works, then by definition that book can be considered prophecy. It makes me wonder sometimes if Rome is preparing a new compendium?
