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.... |
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"[/quote:7fbfa]Don't make me laugh. You dont think that defense department has it's ongoing projects? LOL. And I assure you my friend, they are far better supplied/funded. And if anything, Bush has limited stem cell funding. Then again, stem cells is a fairly new field, I doubt they could do very much with it 6 or so years back anywho. Fast forward 6 years, singapore already has a ban on human cloning....Heh...makes you wonder what exactly happened doesn't it? Im not gonna get into an arguement about bush's policies in a eugenics topic. However, if you ever feel like arguing, pm me. Arguing with bush loving, bible thumping, crack pot conservatives is what I do best.
