Editing the "germ line" with CRISPR AKA "eugenics"
#10
RE: Editing the "germ line" with CRISPR AKA "eugenics"
Eugenics is a great idea with historically poor implementation,lol.

It's difficult to imagine a scenario in which eugenics doesn't ultimately lead to the worst consequences of it's implementation. Imagine a world where we got everybody everything that came up - no cost, by choice. What if 40% of human beings show a stronger response for a new line of enhancements?

Without intentional malice, and even with the best efforts of conservationists - I'd say that reduces the other 60% of humanity to a critically endangered species.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
