Time to question bioengineering.

RE: Time to question bioengineering.

They're a fabrication, a set of subjectively imposed moral absolutes often incompatible with the logical conclusions of someone's own morality, for instance; people like to say stuff such as 'you have a right to life', that is until someone is pointing a gun at a child when all of a sudden it's 'morally good' to unload a few rounds into their brain - In reality everything is context dependent, life is valuable to an extent, at which point it becomes an obstacle.

I tend to follow a rule of thumb such as "Do whatever the fuck you like so long as it doesn't involve using force, fraud, coercion or neglecting your responsibilities", it's only after someone has done that do we have legitimate reasons for action to stop them, reasons for action without this principle seem to me inevitably to be one person asserting their values on others.
