In Germany, the close association between Nazi ideology and the language of biology still sets the tone for any debate on the implications of modern biology and biotechnology. A heightened sensitivity for the consequences of modern biology and intense debate is not necessarily a bad thing. Serious problems arise, however, when the public debate is dominated by philosophers, social scientists, and commentators who give more thought to ideological agendas and the horrors of history than biotechnological realities. Decisions should not be made until there is an informed discussion based on a clear comprehension both of the scientific issues and the relevant historical background.
