They've called it the greatest race of our time, the race to unravel the secret of life itself.
The prize is a complete map of every gene in our bodies, the operating system that explains, cell by cell, how every living creature is created; what some are calling the book of life. All agree that it will revolutionize medicine curing eradicating the most debilitating ailments of our time: cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's and heart disease.
Much is at stake. Not only billions of dollars in new drug sales but a fundamental question: will this book of life -- and the wonders that it contains -- be bequeathed to mankind for the benefit of all, or locked up for the financial advantage of a few?

part 2. You could make your children useless, and irresponsable, that means that the chances of your children gaining knowledge, counsious, expirience and self limitations over actions drop to a lower percentage chance. The result of science dropping the limitations of ppl's actions could be really disastrous.

part 1. Many times ppl who get or are sick, are either weak, or really vicious, irresponsable ppl who don't do things right, and can't take care of their own persona. Saving the lifes of weak and vicious individuals won't bring good things to new generations. The concept is simple, if you are to fix and do everything for your children, your children are likely to depend on you for eveything. continues on part 2
