[QUOTE="pinball1970, post: 6072575, member: 551850"] Not a nice though to someone with asthma, average height/build and “normal” IQ You can potentially splice out “defective” genes/ potentially disease causing genes but someone needs to decide what is and what is not defective. IQ lower than 115? Males under 6 foot Tall? Person not beautiful? Face not symmetric enough? Cannot bench 2x body weight? Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis (link) is no one would argue with “defects” such “not attractive” make me clench a little and reminds of ideologies past. [URL='https://www.nhs.uk/news/genetics-and-stem-cells/gene-therapy-breakthrough-for-cystic-fibrosis/'][U]https://www.nhs.uk/news/genetics-and-stem-cells/gene-therapy-breakthrough-for-cystic-fibrosis/[/U][/URL] Reminds of the below- pretty sure I have quoted this before so perhaps a similar topic has come up? I am a clone, I am not alone Every fibre of my flesh and bone Is identical to the others Everything I say is in the same tone As my test tube brother's voice There is no choice between us, If you had ever seen us, You'd rejoice in your uniqueness And consider every weakness Something special of your ownBeing a clone, I have no flaws to identify Even this doggerel that pours from my pen, Has just been written by Oh, another twenty telepathic men, Word for word, it says: "Oh, for the wings of any bird, Other than a battery hen."
