Ever since Reagan took office, the approach has been to get out of the way and let financial markets work their magic.

All of these engineered animals can be ordered online. Whatever happened to the magic of picking out a family pet at the animal shelter? Today, that idyllic episode has become obsolete; we can instead visit an electronic superstore and choose our pet’s precise genome...
