Original Paragraph:
The technologies in our next cluster are biological.
Two–paternity testing and in vitro fertilization–have already abolished several
of the facts on which the past thousand years of family law are based. It is no
longer only a wise child who knows his father–any child can do it, given access
to tissue samples and a decent lab. And it is no longer the case that the woman
from whose body an infant is born is necessarily its mother. The law has begun to adjust. One
interesting question that remains is to what degree we will restructure our
mating patterns to take advantage of changes in the technology of producing
babies.

Please use either em dashes (American style) or space around your en dashes (British style). The current dashes show up on my screen as en dashes without surrounding spaces, which can easily be mistaken for hyphens, thus distorting the entire grammatical structure of the sentence.
