Andrew Bosworth, Ph.D. and the Biotech Empire

http://www.biotechempire.com/
Excerpts
"What would happen if scientists could clone Thomas Jefferson, who imagined a farming Utopia for America, and invite him to a 21st-century Thanksgiving dinner? Who would explain to Jefferson that the turkey was spiked with steroids, hormones and antibiotics; that the vegetables were genetically scrambled; that the dessert was laced with diarrhea-inducing fake fat; and that the rice included human genes?"
"Inmates have become the raw material for a prison-industrial complex, shoring up perpetual profits for McJails. Corporate prisons are paid on a per-prisoner/per-day basis, and thus they lobby hard for longer mandatory sentences. Inmates also provide cheap labor, and they are about to become, once again, guinea pigs for pharmaceutical trials. All of this signals the conversion of people into valuable bio-mass."
"The Nuremburg Code should prevent scientists from permanently warehousing and classifying everyone's DNA in a genomic 'bio-bank' and then running tests with an eye towards long-range behavioral modification. But it won't…"
"By fusing plant and animal DNA, organisms acquire characteristics entirely impossible in nature - like rushing to maturity in half the normal time and acquiring bizarre characteristics… We could wait patiently for two million years and never witness natural selection yield, by chance, a strawberry resistant to frost because it somehow acquired a salmon's 'anti-freeze' gene."

Andrew's newly-released book, Biotech Empire: Power, Profits and the War on Your Health, is written from a constitutionalist and libertarian perspective. The book explains how the United States, which produced the Bill of Rights and landed a man on the moon, is now distinguished by mass surveillance, mass conditioning and mass incarceration. Big Business and Big Government - motivated by perpetual profits and unlimited power - are creating a high-tech Gilded Age: a "Biotech Empire."
Andrew was born in Balboa, Panama, and grew up in Washington D.C., Madrid, Paris, Rome and Tunis. After college, he taught high school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, during the fall of the Duvalier regime. He has since lived and worked in Australia, Tucson, Dayton and Atlanta. More recently, Andrew lived in Mexico for six years, primarily in Mexico City. He also lived on the Texas-Mexico border. Currently, Andrew works with university programs in Asia and lives in Japan.
Andrew's scholarly publications include "Globalization in the Information Age," and "The Evolution of a World-City System, 3000 BC – 2000 AD." He focuses on the evolution of world trade and writing systems.
