it's not like these kids are going to have no emotions and act like robots. they would be normal humans like anyone else. How they act and behave is based apon how the parents raze them and influence them. they won't be some evil villains attempting to take over the world... Thats what people think of whne they ere of this type of stuff.

If they make these genetically perfect babies, what do they do with the ones that arent perfect? The knowledge and capabilities to do this science adn research is interesting, but are the costs and liabilities worth it?

But seriously, I really don't want anything to ever come close to "the perfect human". Don't ask me why to back it up, because the answer lies in the natural laws that are unknown.

If I understand correctly, it is:

- okay to develop methods of curing ailments, but eliminating them from the human genome isn't...

- okay to devise new ways of dealing with less favorable human traits but eliminating them from the human genome so as to avoid this complication, isn't...

Right. rolleyes:

Gattaca had it right and whether you like it or not, we will eliminate problems
from the human genome. I just hope we learn from this movie and ensure a
future with no genetic profiling. Then again, the best candidate should always
win...

I really don't think humans should alter our make-up. I believe things happen for a reason and people should die (not trying to sound heartless here, just trying to be realistic).

It is really hard to put into words. We have to remember, alot of this stuff goes back to religion and so forth...

they should make perfect babies only available to the rich

Your limitations are self set. Once you outgrow this tired shell, you will be in
a position to accept a better one: one compatible with human advancement.
I'll leave this topic alone now.

what if a genetically perfect baby grew up to be a genetically perfect serial-killer, or terrorist, or anything else we 'fear'?...

Why play the nature lottery when a child can be given vastly superior genes thanks to
science?

I mean, why would I use a bicycle to travel 100 miles when faster, more efficient
means are available ? Back on topic: you're going to care for the child no matter if
it's natural or genetically engineered... so why not give it the best chances at a good
life ? If it's available, I say use it.

Nature gave us life and the means to improve on our condition: why stay

Solidus, you spoke my mind. and budkez, if you have a genetically perfect serial killer, you have a genetically perfect police officer to take him down.

bukdez 10-20-2004 02:27 PM
awesome... i was just saying "what if...", do all the genetic shit you want as far as I'm concerned
