Do you approve of technocorrections?

[madmusic]

Light posting just before the holiday. Yet another thanks to Doug Berman at Sentencing Law and Policy for his nice words about our blog and the focus we're putting on "technocorrections." He posts links to a couple of relevant articles and notes that the "techno" day is clearly upon us. We obviously can supply a concurring opinion if he wants it. The earliest moves are in the surveillance area, as these articles show, along with the business entrepreneurs who see big profits, especially before the evaluation work is done well. But pharmaceutical companies are also eyeing the possibilities, as we've noted. The "lift-off" point may be in the surveillance technology already, but I'm looking forward a steep upward rise when genetic scientists begin to get the mechanics of turning genes on and off going full-blast and get all the details of how cells bind down pat. Anyone out there up for writing "Brave New World II"? . . .

The Brave New World is inevitable. Is that a good thing?
