«La revanche du serpent ou la fin de l'homo sapiens» is the bioethics essay by Bernard Debré (Le Cherche Midi, paperback, 174 pages, in French).
Bernard Debré argues that therapeutic cloning will be the great medical advance of the 21st century and examines the genetic revolution as a challenge to the traditional idea of the human. The essay reflects on bioethics, addresses eugenics, and draws parallels between science and myths, including paleogenetics.
