[QUOTE="bball, post: 1310374, member: 23752"] I completely agree with all your points cottage. Very well articulated. One of my concerns is how we as a society have a tendency to embrace moral relativism -it actually concerns me a great deal. My second concern is how things like genome/eugenics are being heralded to our youth as basically flawless. One of the things i point out to young folks when discussing this is that eugenics CAN NOT account for the human spirit and it's ability improvise and excel in the face of adversity- almost like a spiritual heterosis. No amount of genetic testing will ever be able to pinpoint that I feel (the greatest difference between us and plants or animals). My final concern is something you touched on- the less diverse any organism becomes, the easier it is to be obliterated by things like disease, pestilence, famine, etc. As always, great, well thought out post. One final thought, you asked who would have the final say in determining what genomes are utilized? (Paraphrase) I think we can agree, it would typically be the economic elite utilizing 'the science' to form those determinations....after convincing humanity that it is the moral, ethical and appropriate thing to do.
