<i><b>. </b></i>

Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for the New York Yankees in

their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last year in 1968, baseball

was the most popular game in the United States. For many people, Mantle symbolized the hope, prosperity, and

confidence of America at the time.

Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and left-handed. He

won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team. He was a wonderful athlete, but

<b>this alone cannot explain America’s fascination with him. </b>

Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from Oklahoma.

His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy-tale version of the

American dream. Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a person who wins without

seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace. That was Mickey Mantle.

But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He played without

complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father’s dreams and drank to forget his

father’s early death.

It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis of the liver and accelerated the

advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away from his old life and warned young people

not to follow his example, the destructive process could not be stopped. Despite a liver transplant operation that

had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a recovery, Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63.

<i><b>. </b></i>

The biologist's role in society as well as his moral and ethical responsibility in the discovery and development

of new ideas has led to a reassessment of his social and scientific value systems. A scientist can no longer ignore

the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of his findings as he is with the

basic research in which he is involved. This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other

scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of a laboratory

balance. As a member of society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his

functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man's control of his

environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionary development.

As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human

traits are made to order, may soon be a reality. As desirable as it may seem to be, such an accomplishment would

entail many value judgments. Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for change? In

cases of genetic deficiencies and diseases, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the possibilities for social

misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits.

Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they do indicate the need for

biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements

affect the very existence of life itself.
