mankind has no right to employ its genius in the creation of another intelligent species, then treat it like property. If we've come so far that we can create as God creates, then we have to learn to act with the justice and mercy of God.

Vladimir Nabokov said the two great evils of the 20th century were Marx and Freud. He was absolutely correct.
