Not sure many faith over science types would consider selective cross-breeding the same as intelligent design but I get your point.

What happens to freedom over the common good?
What if they didn't want to be "corrected" but still wanted to breed?
Also if they got (say) born with a physical deformity, such as without limbs or something, no amount of DNA sequencing on them could put that right (in their lifetime).

>> Even letting nature do its thing doesn't guarantee a perfect outcome.

Well It got us from pretty much nothingness to where the whole universe including the earth and us is now.

I agree that its not perfect but it still pretty amazing and definitely seems a lot better than we humans could manage if we were in charge.

Sorry but I dont see telling the US to keep out of another countries affairs as a bad thing.

If I was Merkel, even if I originally had no intention to take Snowden, I would now just to put the US in its place.

>> if you live in a country outside the USA, and your biggest privacy concern is the NSA, you're a moron:

I get your point but it really doesn't work like that. Thanks to most EU governments pandering to the US, the NSA have gotten their hooks into everything there too, even though its not their country.

Amazing that this kind of stuff keeps happening yet many Americans still believe the US is "The Land Of The Free"(tm).

Interesting. I always thought of Intelligent Design as a fake history to allow people of low IQ to continue to believe in magic, but maybe its time hasn't come yet, is all.

Show me just one example where humans have messed with nature and got it completely right.

>> As far as the human genome goes we can store it and revert back to unedited DNA any time we like

Lets assume that some therapy that tweaks DNA in a way that gets passed on is later found to be detrimental. By the time we identify and agree the need to revert, the genie would be well and truly out the bottle.

>> It is simply a matter of not allowing people to reproduce who have had unwanted consequences from edited genes.

Nice one Adolf. This is incredibly naive, You really think the victims themselves will go along with that? You really think there won't be a whole bunch of liberal hollywood movie stars having fund raisers for mutants rights to have babies?

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

>> few organizations are capable of moving thousands of people, some of them infected, to different locations on the globe,

Isn't that a good thing? I mean Quarantining is a good idea right?

Slow Down Cowboy!

nVidia requires you to wait between each successful usage of the brakes to allow everyone a fair chance at avoiding accidents.

It's been 4 minutes since you last successfully used your brakes.

>> dude, you're a fucking moron.

"Dude" go fuck yourself.
