Is it just me or does it sound a bit like Huxley's Brave New World?
The centerpiece of Singapore’s biotechnology effort is the Biopolis, a seven-building biomedical hive that opened in late 2003 at a cost of 500 million Singapore dollars. It is outfitted with the latest high-tech equipment and features a bar, a day care center and an underground facility made to house a quarter-million laboratory mice.
A quarter-million lab rats! Not to mention hiring Alan Coleman who cloned Dolly the Sheep– I mean, that's Dolly you're talking about, of Time magazine fame! the first cloned sheep ever! (See Time Magazine Cover on left). Biopolis is hiring top people from UK, US, and even Japan.
Read the NY Times article here. For the sake of my country, I hope our investment in biotechnology pays off. But I also hope that we will not go boldly where angels fear to tread.
