alright, as I always do when I start a controversial type of thread I state what I expect to get out of it. I expect people to start flaming each other for no reason at all, I expect people to post some randomly offtopic comment, i expect people to, heh I just realized I described 90% of the threads here. happy:
Anyway, to be serious here, scientists are already pretty much perfecting cloning, and singapore outlawed human cloning etc, so personally I think Genetic Enhancement is not too far behind. You could pretty much be exactly the way you wanted to be. There would be no more hereditary diseases, no more blind or deaf people, no more retarded people or insane people, no more disabilities... Imagine what human beings could accomplish if we were genetically enhanced... Most people dont agree with me on this, but over the past few days Ive had a lot of conversations about this. My own parents think that "you shouldnt tamper with what nature has given you," my best friend thinks that you could anger god or some shit like that if you did it, but I think all of thats bullshit. Anyway, on to the poll question. Do you think genetcial enhacment would be beneficial to improving our scoiety, or do you think we should stay away from it.
