Molecular Biologist Leon Kass, who left the research labs to become executive secretary of the National Academy of Science's Committee on the Life Sciences and Social Policy, puts it effectively: "The family is rapidly becoming the only institution in an increasingly impersonal world where each person is loved not for what he does...
