[RobotsAreHereNow]

The rich will prevail At all cost ,the poor will never .

[Domzdream]

Why not. We're already messing with it. Hip replacements, cancer medication, any medical conditions and cures for them. We're combating these natural symptoms since cave days. Plastic surgery, transportation, etc. I mean, if your family member had a cure for his or her quadraplegic paralysis, would you deny them that? Because you think it's unethical? I think you'd change your mind real quick if that was you in that bed motionless for life.

-in a but shell. We know that (for example) beauty has many advantages versus an un attarctive person. Every single day we see this in daily life. And I can guarantee that ANY two people applying for a job, one of them being fucking gorgious versus the more skillful, unattractive person, the good looker will 90% of the time get the job. Purely based on beauty.

What--? You'd deny your child this advanatge? Nonsense! Debate is moot here.

At 1:51.

Again. I disagree with this lady. Why's it even up for debate. Wouldnt you want your child to haev every advantage as a gene, to succeed in life, to pass on IT's gene? Of course you would. That's like feeding your child only sub-par vegetables, rather than A-grade ones, because you think it's up for debate wether they should be better off with healthier teeth versus the ones that have rotting teeth. It's NOT up for debate at all.

We're all highly evolved primates. Animals in a -

of course it will only be for the rich at first, eventualy it will trickle down to lower strata once the cost are reduced. even if they were a step behind, everyone would benefit. Take vaccination as an example, at first not everybody was able to aford it but now is part of almost every public health program everywhere.

The meek shall inherit the earth but not the mineral rites!

[nadogi]

The Transhumanist girl is pretty hot.

[XANDERXXZ]

There are so many doomsday theorys out there it realy is getting quite boaring, things will work themselves out, the drugs will be controoled, banned or not made in the first place, stop worrying about how the world will die and society will crubmle.

[GwydionMapDon]

She didn't give a good response to his scattering point. In actuality, the genetic changes, as long as they are done ethically (that is, not breeding supersoldiers, etc), we will not scatter to the degree he assumes. Humanity has in common certain values in what are considered natural gifts and defects. Certainly there will be a general trend in that direction. Intelligence, health, attractiveness, longevity, athleticism... these are all traits that will be selected for accross the board.

[GwydionMapDon]

Exactly! There is no moral difference between genetic engineering and attempts to shape children through social influences.

[THE1CALLEDJ]

It's not that I find it out of line, it's just unrealistic. In order to make lab equipment you need steel of surgical quality, glass, and copper at minimum. Those are just the elements. The printer can't print those.

I'm sorry I sound like such a pessimist I'm just a realist who did have his head in the clouds. I'm all for curing cancer, however I do not want to see another silly divide drawn between people. We have enough lines already with all the different religions.

[ExtantFrodo]

Sorry you find it so out of line. What makes you such a fucking pessimist?
