The following article reflects on the relationship between man and the world. The world not only surrounds man, but man participates in it. This participation has various implications for research and the application of genetic engineering. The article focuses on man's restricted capacity to know and foresee all the consequences of his actions and his ambivalence for good and bad. Man must be aware of his own limits and show due concern for mankind and the world.
