    Summary: A guide to the rapidly progressing Age of Biotechnology, Brutes or Angels provides basic information on a wide array of new technologies in the life sciences, along with the ethical issues raised by each. With stem cell research, Dolly the cloned sheep, in vitro fertilization, age retardation, and pharmaceutical mind enhancement, humankind is now faced with decisions that it has never before had to consider. The thoughtfulness, or lack of it, that we bring to those decisions will largely determine the future character of the living world.

    B and T lymphocytes separation by use of various cell markers had been previously described. These differential lymphocyte subpopulation counts have been helpful in elucidating immunodeficiency, lymphoproliferative and other disease states. Expanding clinical utility has moved these assays into the general laboratory for routine determination. Specific methodology for differentiation of B and T cell subpopulations is described. The mean T cell population is 68.1 percent +/- 4.2 and the mean B cell population is 8.4 percent +/- 2.1 for 30 ambulatory normals. A bi-modal distribution of T and B lymphocyte cell lines is noted in a family with a high incidence of carcinoma. Preliminary data on patients in the diabetic clinic of the Medical University of South Carolina shows a statistically significant difference in the T cell population of diabetics versus normal.
