People keep using the arguement that genetically engineered kids will be robots, and that getting rid of disadvantages like hereditary diseases will somehow be evil (Who cares if the gene for sickle celled anemia gives some resistance to malaria, just build that resistance in without the anemia)

Well guess what, I'm sure any of you who argue now that you wouldn't want to be genengineered would love to have had a little gene therapy when you're crippled from Alzheimers. And anyone knows that environment is a much larger part of how a child develops than gene therapy to make perfect children is. It doesn't matter if everyone looks exactly alike, the brain itself in that skull will still have individual thoughts, because that kid's parents raised him differently than the guys across the street

If i could have the ability to do math faster than a computer with just a couple hundred bucks of gene therapy then hell i'd take it
