So much has happened in biology in the last 20 years that it is kind of painful trying to have ethics, social, or political discourse with people who are using mid-20th Century fuzzy ideas.

Personally, I believe that issues on ethics necessarily took time. Relatively speaking, the time it takes for research to bear fruit seems to pass a whole lot faster.
