Title : To You Who Are Not Yet Born - Albert Jacquard - book
Summary :
Geneticist Albert Jacquard never stopped questioning what is passed down from one generation to the next. In the form of a letter to a teenage great-grandchild in 2025, the author of The Water Lily Equation offers us a synthesis of his questions, his convictions, his fears, and his hopes.
Will eight billion human beings be able to coexist on the planet tomorrow? What consequences could frenetic consumption and uncontrolled manipulation of the human genome have on the environment and our collective destiny? What safeguards will we be able to invent to preserve both diversity and peace?
A taste for knowledge, respect for others, the need for criticism and sometimes for insubordination: these are the values, anchored in his life and his struggles, that Albert Jacquard reaffirms here, and which ultimately make this book a lesson in optimism and hope.
