--- Quote from: Perry on January 22, 2017, 04:04:39 PM ---human genetics shouldn't be tampered with. that's crossing boundaries and is prone to severe abuse in the future. --- End quote --- i want to see weird-ass advancements in science and humans with weird-ass abilities created |

--- Quote from: DrenDran on January 22, 2017, 04:11:39 PM ---That's some real Prole mentality you got there. There's nothing special about us or our genes except for our ability to manipulate the world to suit our own goals. --- End quote --- exactly. the problem is 'suit our own goals' genetic manipulation is prone to abuse. someone with their own interests and goals can do what they want with an unborn child's genetics and do a bunch of stuffty stuff. from what we've seen so far, genetic manipulation causes a good portion of test subjects to be born with horrible defects and die a couple days later from development issues, which is already a moral problem of its own. it's just not right |

The idea that humanity will never do any large scale genetic engineering is pretty silly. We've got thousands of years of history yet to make. |

All I know about this scenario is if I had the chance to photosynthesize I would. It would save so much time and effort spent on finding and eating food. Time which could then be spent on more stimulating activities. |
