Jim Greenwood on the Transformative Nature of Biotechnology

"We use the language of life to fix its mistakes. We use the language of life to enable us to live on this planet sustainably.  Decoding the secrets of life scares some people, but it inspires us.  Some people ask how can you play God with the language of life?  We say we're not trying to be God...we are only trying to be fully human.  Though we cannot see all that the future holds, our vision is clear.  We can see that the knowledge you have pioneered-- and the passion you put behind it, will allow us to never again have to speak the words, "There's nothing we can do,"

said Jim Greenwood President and CEO of BIO today in his Keynote address.  If you missed it, we've included a clip.
