		The particular irony of this dialectic is that the universality of the human species-being operates as a moral and ideological imperative in human societies: that is, the rational structures that are effective in human cognition and moral evaluation move human societies to account for their restrictions of universality as the application of universality itself.
		That is, while the underlying stratum of human nature is structured by the universality of the human species-being, its empirical manifestation is deformed by embeddedness in nature.

		As long as the human beings using biotechnology do so in the service of their natural desires, their technical means might be new, but their moral ends will be rooted in the enduring desires of human nature.

	Evolution and Human Nature
		Human nature, like all functional attributes of organisms, was determined by differential reproduction of varying entities in the ancestral environment.
		For example, humans naturally jerk away from a hot object, shiver to keep warm, cringe or duck when an object comes close to the head, put our arms out when we fall, etc. Of course, these behaviors are shared with many other animals, in some cases all mammals and probably some others as well.
		Humans too have this possessive instinct; males and females alike resent being cheated on (though this arises for other genetic reasons as well), and no one likes to have his possessions stolen by a rival or a thief.
