33 SHAFFER: Don’t bioethics pose a challenge to the idea that the best society is the most successful society? You argue in Our Posthuman Future that a society that genetically engineered its children to be more intelligent might be more productive and successful but wouldn’t be moral. FUKUYAMA: I’ve got a simpler concern in my current book. It’s just that liberal democracy is not something you can take for granted, or that democracies will find a way to solve their problems. I think we’ ve got a number of long-term problems in the United States that don’t seem to be getting addressed with the current political system. Matthew Shaffer is a William F. Buckley Fellow at the National Review Institute
