Where do you guys stand on the idea of future people being genetically engineered
I have very mixed feelings on this subject. On one level I don't see anything wrong with helping future people by ensuring that people will be born genetically healthy, however I am against the idea of breaking people up into classes based on their genetics. Like in Brave New World for example. When people are genetically engineered I feel that they should all be engineered the same so that everyone can be equal. I don't mean everyone looking and acting the same, but everyone having the same abilities.

I am very against any mistreatment of anyone with a disability, I have several that are genetically based myself, but I don't think that it is wrong to prevent future people from having these problems. That way suffering is reduced.


What do you guys think?

New discoveries in biology are starting to show that when life is put in an environment that it is not adapted for that by some unknown process its genes can do something to themselves that make them more likely to have a beneficial mutation. At least this can happen with bacteria. I read this in this book.

Re: Where do you guys stand on the idea of future people being genetically engineered
i dont think we are ready yet.

The rich will engineer long life and grotesque exaggerated extremes that every one will just have to have.

They will end up clones of themselves while the poor can't even get healthcare.

It will create two separate societies as the GMO rich will not want to mix with the DNA impure poor.

Two different species will emgerge.
