MICHAEL FUMENTO's science reporting is well-known for its fearlessness in challenging conventional wisdom.

In his new book, BioEvolution: How Biotechnology Is Changing Our World (Encounter, 510 pp., $28.95), he offers an unabashed defense of scientific progress. "The potential of biotech," he contends, "is so broad and research is advancing so quickly that it can bring us all the miracles that scientists say it will, without necessarily involving processes that many of us find morally or religiously offensive." (In addressing the furor over embryonic stem cells, for example, Fumento points out that adult stem cells show every bit as much medical promise.)
