10Everything In It’s Right PlaceRobert SantiagoNearly 12 short years ago, Dolly the sheep, the first mammal clonedby means of nuclear transfer, gave the world its first taste of the sheerbiotechnological power humans currently hold in their grasp. Yet, as stated,this immense event in human progression is running on 12 years past, andtoday humanity is on the horizon of a possibly even more daunting power:human engineering. The now feasible realization of this amazing andfrightening ability to actually dictate and enhance the genetic makeup ofhuman beings is causing a disquieting polarization of public opinion.Humanity hasn’t seen the dawn of such a powerful scientific implementationsince the creation of nuclear weaponry, and nothing in the course of humanhistory has merited such ethical uncertainty. The truth is the public doesn’tknow what to think about the reality of this impending capability, and aremainly resorting to gut feelings and the word of the most prominent ethicaltheorists to compose the climate of the tempestuous zeitgeist regarding thesubject.Such is the job of Michael J. Sandel, a political science professor andformer member of the President’s Council on Bioethics, who has insightfullyproclaimed his rightful fears of the usage of said technology in his article“The Case Against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering.”Looking to the possible future implications of this science, Sandel points outthe effects it could have on all aspects of our civilization, from the managingof individual placement in society down to the distortion of the very essenceof our humanity. Sharing these concerns is the British alternative rock bandRadiohead, who are outspoken political activists in their own right and havemanaged to consistently proclaim their respective beliefs through both their
11music and public commentary. In a vision of the future running parallel toone we could very likely be experiencing ourselves, the album Kid A byRadiohead depicts, in accordance with Sander’s fears, the miserableexistence of the first genetically enhanced human and the world he subsistsin. In exploring Kid A’s feeling of enslavement and isolation, his convictionthat we are “good enough”, and the transformation of society due to theadvancements in technology that made him possible, a clear admonition canbe perceived disclosing the possibility that perhaps human enhancementthrough biotechnology isn’t the means to achieving a utopian humanity it’smade out to be. In fact, in observation of Kid A’s obsession over the humanorigin he was deprived of, it might prove to be exactly the opposite.As the first genetically enhanced human, Kid A bears the weight ofsociety’s expectations and a mortally abnormal existence, resulting in hisoverbearing feelings of slavery and isolation. The opener itself, “EverythingIn It’s Right Place”, acts as a sarcastic quip at the fact that everything istechnically perfect regarding Kid A, yet he feels anything but. As the album’sintroduction, it elucidates exactly what Kid A was expected to be upon hiscreation; something impossibly perfect. Yet as the album unfolds, it becomesincreasingly evident that Kid A doesn’t want to bear the tremendous burdenplaced upon him. On several occasions he refers to himself as a slave, and in“Optimistic”, he goes as far as to depict himself as a “nervous messed upmarionette / Floating around on a prison ship”, perfectly illustrating hisgeneral disposition in life. “Morning Bell” also contains repeated mention ofhis unwanted helotry, while the issues of isolation and social confusion arerepresented in the manic chaos of “The National Anthem” and thedisorienting sense of displacement in “In Limbo”. Throughout the latter and“Idioteque”, he proclaims himself “the first in the Irish sea”, “the first of thechildren”, and claims to be “lost at sea”, all cries of help which speak forthemselves.
