Description “Present-day public attitudes to biological manipulation are ambivalent, many surveys show. This paper explores evidence of earlier attitudes to experimental biology, before survey data exists, by examining published responses in the press to the idea that biologists would `create life'. This remarkable claim achieved wide currency in the early years of this century, particularly linked to the work of two prototypical `visible scientists': Jacques Loeb and Alexis Carrel.” From the abstract.
