Habermas's acceptance speech in Vienna May 23

Excerpts from Jürgen Habermas's acceptance speech in Vienna on May 23, 2012, where he received both The Erwin Chargaff Prize and the 2011 Victor Frakl Honorary Award:

"Soll sich der Mensch verbessern dürfen?"
Wo sind die ethischen Grenzen, wenn es darum geht, das menschliche Wesen durch Biotechnologie zu verändern?
("Die Presse", May 27, 2012)
