Gene engineering
raises questions
of responsibility
By Doug Driskell
Reporter
An Oxford University professor
told an audience at A&M Tuesday
that although genetic engineering
can be used to eliminate handicaps,
using it to improve human beings is
a risky proposition.
Oxford philosophy professor Joh
nathan Glover raised the question of
how far genetic engineering should
be taken at a colloquium on genetic
engineering sponsored by the De
partment of Philosophy.
“Should we consider genetic engi
neering as a alternative to putting up
with the human nature that so far
has lead to the disastrous history that
we all know?” he asked.
such improvements as raising a per
son’s IQ.
He said human reproduction has
changed in two ways in the past 15
years. Artificial reproduction can
now replace natural reproduction,
he said, and the ability to screen for
genetic disorders has resulted in se
lective abortion.
Glover said it is hoped that in the
future the use of genetic engi
neering will obliterate the hand
icapped and prevent selective abor
tion.
He said genetic engineering can
be used in both negative and positive
ways.
Negative gene manipulaton in
volves eliminating medical disor
ders. Positive manipulation involves
“If it can be done without harmful
side effects, I think there is a very
strong case for saying negative engi
neering is a good thing,” Grover
said. “Surely this is preferable to
abortion even if one does not believe
in abortion.”
Glover said that positive engi
neering brings up questions of how
much to improve the human body.
There is also the danger of mistakes,
he said.
“If you mess up the gene pool,
which makes the human body resis
tant to various kinds of diseases, pos
sibly the capacity of the human
race’s survival could be jeopordi-
zed,” Glover emphasized. “If a mis
take is made, somebody will be re
sponsible for messing up that
person’s life.”
Glover said positive engineering
could result in a “genetic supermar
ket” where parents choose their chil
dren’s characteristics.
This will place much responsibil
ity on the parents, he said, and chil
dren’s rights will come into play.
“We should take extreme caution
on embarking on genetic engi
neering because of the danger of ir
reversible mistakes,” he said. “But
we should at least consider changing
if it becomes possible to do so, simply
because it may depend on the very
survival of our species.”

Language class, club plan

Imagine memorizing more than
300 lines of a play. Now imagine
memorizing those lines in German.
The 28 cast members of “Der
Kaukasische Kreidedreis” (“The
Caucasion Chalk Circle”) by Bertolt
Brecht are experiencing this as they
drill lines, practice songs, build a set
and design costumes.
The cast members call themselves
Die Aggie Komodianten (The Aggie
Comedy Players). The cast is made
up of 26 students who are enrolled
in German 334, German Drama and
some German Club members.
Dr. Roger Crockett, associate pro
fessor of modern languages, and Dr.
Wulf Koepke, professor of modern
languages, are directing the play and
participating as cast members.
Because the play has 28 cast mem
bers and 60 roles, some actors will be
playing two or three parts, Crockett
says.
From the beginning of the semes
ter until the week before spring
break, the cast has been working on
the play during regular class hours
and every Sunday night, he says. For
the past few weeks, the entire cast
has been rehearsing daily.
Franzi Sohn, a native speaker and
leading actress, says, “Besides taking
the class, it takes a lot of outside
work. You have to be willing to give
extra time.”
Crockett says the play would be
about a six-week production, but
performing the drama in German
with only three native-speaking cast
members takes much longer. Also,
“Even though you may
not understand exactly
what is being said, you un
derstand what is going on.
It’s a very gestural play
with a lot of action. ”
— David Gowan,
cast member
ernor of a provincial capital is exe
cuted. His wife, fleeing in fear of her
life, abandons their infant son and
heir. A servant girl finds the infant
and takes him into her care. After
realizing that the rebels are search
ing for the infant, she hides with him
in her brother’s home. After the re
volution has been put down, the
widow returns searching for her son
and his inheritance.
The audience then meets the
judge who will preside over the cus
tody trial. The judge, concerned
about the common folk, will decide
who will be the son’s legal mother.

because some cast members are just
in their second semester of German,
they have to go through pronuncia
tion drills, phrasing drills and gain a
full understanding of their lines.
David Gowan, who plays three
roles, says the cast also designs and
builds the set for the production.
Crockett says the setting of the
play is in the Caucasus Mountains
during a revolution sometime be
tween the Middle Ages and the Rus
sian Revolution. Brecht’s play is a
comedy with some tragic elements.

The production, sponsored by the
Department of Modern Languages
and the German Club, will be Thurs
day and Saturday at 8 p.m. in Rud
der Theater. General admission is
$3 and student tickets are $ 1.50.
The money from the ticket sales is
used for production expenses,
Crockett says. The operating budget
for the play is usually about $1,200.

that don’t understand German, an
English synopsis is provided.
