Diseases are not beautiful, and a god that wills people to be born with Fetus in fetu, Sociopathy, No eyes - hands or legs, heart outside of their body, severe mental retardedness, autism, Harlequin type ichthyosis and countless other horrible conditions is no benevolent god. Indeed there is no such thing as a god and there should be a cure for every disease. Weather it is on a genetic level or implimented after birth is irrelevant.

It's basically eugenics, but without having to murder those who are considered "lesser capable"

[quiettornado1970]

they shouldn't play gots. It is those who have diabability that make some appreciate life as they already have it. as such of a youtube video about a man born without arms and legs

My parents had such silly impractical things such as flying cars to look forward to.

I have nanotechnology, quantum computers, biotechnology, mind-brain interfaces, and genetic engineering.

Like I seen in another video, this "Designer Baby" idea is brilliant to a certain extent. Removing diseases and illnesses from the face of this world would be extraordinary, but to remove beauty/difference from this planet will be more devastating then the diseases that would be extinguished. Sure you can make babies better/stronger/smarter, but only to a certain extent. See this designer baby idea can only duplicate genes that were taken from another human which gives no room for evolution.

Undeniably this technolagy will not be restrained in the future regardless of laws or ethical opinions. The future is not resrainable. Nor is the progress of it's discoveries. Mankind must come to grips with this and deal with it's implications sooner or later. There will be a seperation of have verses have nots. Guess what, there has been for along time. First world inhabitants can not deny that truth.

@summertimelove4u you dont know shit shut the fuck up

[greeneyedickhead]

lets get one thing straight just cause you have blue eyes dont mean they look attracttive and blonde hair blonde hair seems to look better on people that dye it the ones that are born with it dont seem to be as pritty and guys once they hit adlut hood ho wants pure blonde hair it looks to kiddush or something like from a zleda game or one of those video games its the genetics behind the eyes that make them nice not the color itself

As someone who has dealt with being a Type 1 diabetic for my entire life, I would never want those traits passed on to my children. This video makes it sound as if it is OK for people to suffer with debilitating diseases. However, it is not OK. My thought is that as Viral nanotechnology progresses, I will be a major supporter of this process to replace the bad genetic sequences with good ones in the Germ cells. This should be a standard inoculation, and hope it happens soon.

Genetic evolution has no forsight, therefore it is important that memic evolution take over because the human mind has forsight and can anticipate ethical and moral problems. This thing about the imaginary friend in the sky is just plain silly, divisive and dangerous!

well thumbs down for god
