I’m not sure how anyone could defend playing god with someone’s life and no free will. 


I guess I get the free will thing...

But when exactly does medicine cross the line of "playing god"?

Heart transplant?
Brain tumor surgery?
Helping a premature baby survive?

Or is it all about the genes? Lol

I've always thought of that as a dumb argument.

I guess China will win every medal at 2036 Olympics.

At least professional sports will be interesting in about 20 years.

However, new HIV infections are rising in around 50 countries. In Eastern Europe and Central Asia the annual number of new HIV infections has doubled, and new HIV infections have increased by more than a quarter in the Middle East and North Africa over the past 20 years.
So the places where sex workers trafficked from sub-saharan africa end up, have a growing aids rate, and the places the sex workers are taken from are declining.

How odd

In animals and agriculture, it's completely okay and approved by everyone, but eugenics in people became taboo in the 30'-40s
