In all seriousness, why wouldn't anybody be a eugenist? I see nothing wrong with improving everyones chances to succeed. Imagine a world where nobody is overweight, or underweight, blind or deaf, ugly or suffering from down syndrome...
who would they make fun of? Oh wait, the next gen would hit us. Then what?
....if you are saying that the next gen will be more improved than we are.....then I say that i believe with enough research it may be possible to GE somebody after birth.... Of course, we will never actually know, if we continue to have leaders who cut science funding, in exchange for raising the defense budget 41% since they were in office(highest since reagan adminstration....of course there is a little fact that the reagan administration was preparing for a nuclear war with an opposing superpower.) I mean seriously, South korea has accomplished more than the US has in the field of genetics....[/quote:3ec9f]
Bsuh is the first president to allow federal funding for stem cell research. Die in a fire. And dont pull that defense budget shit on me. The scientific research budget may have been decreased in terms of percent per year, but it recieves that money every year, whereas the defesne budget gets paid once, with permanent fixtures in place.
Scientific research spending: "We get X Billion dollars a year to fund ongoing research"
Military Budget: "We get X billion dollars once, buy all new equipment, weapons, etc, and then um... Well we're pretty much done for the next 10-15 years"
