Cooks Mills, Illinois: In stark contrast to the rural
country setting, the conspicuously subdued facility that houses APPLIED
CREATIVE GENETICS LABORATORIES (ACGL) is a futuristic tower of gleaming chrome
with flocks of scientists flowing to and fro in bright white lab coats. There’s
a flurry of activity here. “You can feel
the energy.” One passer-by commented as we made our way to the administration
building to meet the chief scientist, Dr. Frank Steinen; whose vision
twenty-six years ago led him to compile a team of the world’s top visionaries
in the field of genetics.
“We have but one goal here, and that is to change the course
of human history.” Dr. Steinen stated. “It says so above the main entrance in
the lobby by the vending machines. Those
words greet us every day. We mustn’t give up. The world, the future of mankind
depends on it.”
