Absolutely fascinating. Although i think ethics really won't matter in this area, unfortunately. I guess it'll be a step-by-step process: no one will sit down and say "hey, i'll make a four-armed glow in the dark human superbaby" but in many little steps we'll get there. countries will soften their laws bit by bit to gain technological supremacy, individual scientits will "bend" the laws little by little and over the years we'll get to the designer baby stuff.

Yes, sounds pessimistic but IMHO men always has done everything technology provided him (and used most of it as a weapon to kill his fellow men).

Can't believe he didn't go for the "known for its skills in magic" joke

PS: Don't insult my intelligence by pretending you aren't presenting an answer or opinion on all the questions you are asking.

Next time your relatives die of curable diseases, think fondly of the luddites who seek to slow human progress.

This was a lot like reading Michael Chricton's "Next". Only a whole lot more interesting...
