Governing biological evolution

Description

Governing biological evolution involves implementing policies, regulations, and technologies to guide and manage genetic changes in organisms, both natural and engineered. The strategy aims to prevent harmful consequences such as loss of biodiversity, biosecurity risks, and unintended ecological impacts. Practical actions include monitoring genetic modifications, enforcing biosafety standards, promoting responsible research, and fostering international cooperation to ensure that evolutionary interventions support environmental sustainability, public health, and ethical standards.

Claim

The principle political problem of our era is how to redefine our bioculture. Politics is about evolution. Governance is inextricably connected with the growing human responsibility for all the things the word evolution implies: the survival and extinction of species, the changing ecology of the planet, the biological (and cultural) condition of the human species itself.
