This thread will result in nothing but arguments involving political and religious beliefs. Interesting topic, but I don't believe this thread will last.
Its a topic about science, and potentially the ethics of science. Certainly anyone can make any topic about politics or religion if they want but that falls on them and what they post. Id say this post is certainly less political than posts about economic collapse I see posted today or other posts floating around.....
Humans might need to be modified to survive in the next 50-500 years Idk. Maybe well need to resist the cold better. Or need to eat less to survive. Be stronger. Stuff that could help us
I'd be skeptical about the timing of this, Skye. I'm certain I've heard reports of the same thing over a year ago, so it may just be rehashed virality.
That being said, genetic modification is a volatile subject. If many people are already racist and sexist, there's no reason to think that a genetically superior population wouldn't become geneticist. Thus comes the discrimination based on genes.
I'd support genetic modification only if the genes of a newborn become illegal to disclose to anybody except the person who will have legal custody of the baby. If the baby is getting adopted, not even the birth parents should have the genetic information.
This would lead to the smallest amount of babies getting murdered because of their genes.

This is the future of medical advancements. Why would you be against this?
