so where do you stand on the topic of eugenics?
on the one hand we could solve all the worlds health problems, no more cancer, no more allergies, flu goes away far more quickly, people start off super-intelligent, becoming fat is far more difficult, and theoretically you can choose your appearance down to the color of your eyes, skin, and hair after you've matured.
on the other, there's a lot of potential problems, and of course there's the issue of it being controlled by the few that can afford it thus giving them a legitimate advantage over someone who can't.
and of course the unknowns... We wouldn't want a khan (startre) or a Kane if you've played C&C.
so where do you stand?
personally I'm pro eugenics but only if it's available to everyone and only if it's to benefit people and tested thoroughly.
for example I'd love to have my allergies cease to exist with a few treatments.
