only when the person in question tells me to die in a fire. c312, I know you are conservative + religious + etc, however, that comment was not directed at you, and it was not intended to offend you in any way. If it did, I apologize. I was just in a bad mood at the time, and "die in a fire" wasn't exactly what i wanted to hear.

Oh please. Playing god? Give me a break. We live in the 21st century, if religious people don't want to be genetically enhanced, thats fine by me, but I should have the right if I want to, as should others. And I never said it was unnatural, I said it wasn't fair. And if we have the ability to make things right, then we should take the oppurtunity.

Oh yea, and as for there being a reason why retards, people with chronic illnesses, people who are blind, etc exist, why don't you go share that reason with the families of the people in question. Im sure they would love to know.

Also, as nature has shown with previous species, if they don't adapt quickly enough, they die out. Nature does not pick a favorite, I would hope somebody as intelligent as you would realize that. Therefore, we cannot rely on nature, to insure our survival. We have to rely on ourselves. If we can better our chances of survival, why should we not? If we can improve the quality of the lives of our fellow human beings, why should we not? Or at least offer them the freedom to choose.

Did you even read his post? oOo:

EDIT: Fixed up my previous post, there wasn't that much wrong with it, altho it was slightly incomplete. I don't see where you got the idea that I didn't read it from..... eek:
