“…For literacy, the enforcement is both direct, in the form of mandatory basic education, and indirect, in the form of severe social penalties for failure to acquire reading and writing skills. The dominant cooperative framework (Buchanan et al 2001) of Western society has developed in such a way that an illiterate person is excluded from many opportunities and unable to participate in many aspects of modern life. Despite these enormous and partially coercive pressures, and despite the fact that literacy profoundly changes the way the brain processes language (Petersson 2000), literacy is not deemed to be problematic.…”

“…a capacidade de ler o genoma humano -o que movimentou investimentos políticos, científicos e, sobretudo, financeiros, privados ou não, imensos, gerando uma verdadeira corrida pela decifração do genoma humano -permitiria compreender nossas origens, nossa evolução, natureza e constituição corpóreo-mental, o que revolucionaria todas as ciências, não só as biomédicas. Buchanan et al (2001) apontam que o PGH já propicia dois tipos de intervenção genética, a saber, intervenção direta e intervenção indireta. no primeiro tipo, eles enquadram a terapia genética, através da qual genes normais ou "desejáveis" (desirable) são inseridos em "células somáticas" (body tissue) ou "germinativas" (germline cells -gametes, sperms or eggs, or embryos); e a cirurgia genética (gene surgery), que opera através do "desligamento" (switched off ) de genes anormais ou indesejáveis, a fim de evitar que produzam distintos efeitos considerados como nefastos.…”
