ABSTRACT:
Genetic engineering defines man as a molecular machine. The principles of atomism, of arbitrariness and of the disarray of nature, critically formulated by Wolfgang Metzger, are immanent to its way of thinking. Thereby genetic engineering is suited for the large scale revival of the ideas and politics of social Darwinism and eugenics. It tends to help to consolidate and to barbarize even further the concept of man which is predominant in our society. The challenge to resist the seductive power of its promises calls for the willingness of man to disengage himself from his own dreams of a 'perfect' world and from a misconception of life, meaningless and worth living solely in the absence of suffering and renunciation.
