Re:This is very distressing. (Score 1)

I guess you didn't read your history very well. If you did you might remember that Hilter had the Pope's blessing for a while. A lot of people joined the Nazi Cause because it had God's blessing. They were doing God's will. As far as the 'white-coat guys' are concerned, who is being more amoral? Them for developing our understanding of our own genetics, or you for labeling them as being amoral and having bulging brains? As far as I'm concerned, it is not the scientists who need to understand the consequences of their work but rather the rest of us. We are the ones who will inevitable decide how this technology will be used.
