Ethical questions arising from developments in modern biology, such as "If we are genetically determined, where is free will?" "Is it right for humans to create new foods?" and "Should organizations be allowed to hold the keys to the production of vast amounts of food globally in the form of a patent?" are discussed in this collection of presentations from the 2004 European Commission sponsored conference "Modern Biology and Visions of Humanity."

Leading figures in the worlds of science and the arts take sides in these essays in either promoting the products and services biology provides, challenging biology's vision of humanity, or questioning the whole approach of Western science from a political perspective.
