That was one seriously disturbing movie in the nature of what it covered, as opposed to something like Saw.
Yet it didn't do too well at the box office, and almost no one has the slightest idea of what it was about.
Agreed.

You really think genetic engineering won't be dirt cheap in the long run? Not talking about avoiding genetic conditions that are expensive to treat, just the mechanics of the whole thing. I think prices will drop in a manner similar to DNA sequencing. Used to have human genome projects, now we have 23andme.
I think once the cat gets out of the bag things will take a dark turn. To the point that genetics evolve mechanically into something else entirely. It's human nature.

Why do you love experimenting on unborn babies that cant tell you no?
I assume youre aware that parents always make medical decisions for their children
minors cant give medical consent

Thats a brave parent to let someone experiment on their unborn child like that. Which makes me think most likely this will be done in a lab using donated sperm and eggs, in which case that point is moot.

Editing of the human genome should be banned.
1. If you are a Christian it is clearly wrong to attempt to edit what God has created in his own image.
2. If you are a materialistic atheist it is clearly wrong to edit the genetics of a species based on short term fads and a profit motive which can reduce its genetic diversity and thereby make it more susceptible to extinction.
There is no macro case to permit this to go on.
In other words, you support bigger government with more prohibitions. What other things do you believe the government should prohibit?
