Cloning is safer - the perils of sexual DNA combination?
#15
RE: Cloning is safer - the perils of sexual DNA combination?
Quote:Some may prefer to remove defects -- others may prefer to encourage them.  What if we find a gene for narcissism, and narcissists decide everyone should be that way?

Still, I believe this will come.  People will voluntarily sequence their own genes, and will screen embryos for defects, and for preferred traits like "blue eyes".
We also need to be very careful about what we consider defects.
