That whole Holocaust thing really gets to me, man. Some of my moms were Jewish.

Lord Winston, of the Hammersmith Hospital in West London, told the BBC yesterday: 'Regarding the treat-ment of the infertile, there is no evidence that this technique is worth doing . . . I am very surprised that it was even carried out at this stage. It would certainly not be allowed in Britain.'

Anyone else find it ironic that someone with the title "Lord" doesn't want babies that might be superior to him created?

I can honestly say in all my life that I've not met a single person who is an openly Jewish person like portrayed on TV. Not one.

I've met the Jehovah's Witnesses, an ass ton of Baptists, Catholics and Methodists but not a single Jewish person.

Where the **** are they?

What exactly do you mean by openly Jewish person like portrayed on TV ?
Can you give some examples?

seriously. I have no problem with this. We are quickening our evolution.
Done correctly you could condition humans to live elsewhere. Travel the stars. Live in harsher conditions on earth.

Hell. Eventually you could become gods.

will be interesting 20 years from now if the modified humans become prevalent how religion will alter their stance on history or take credit.
Or modify them not to wear pajamas and Crocs in Walmarts when they are shopping.

I honestly don't think I'd have a problem with that.

My problem would be the sustainability of the planet. All these people would grow up disease free and live 100+ years of healthy living. I guess if it did get to that point, we would have to be compelled to travel to the stars to search out other livable worlds.

You are assuming that with a longer life span and greater confidence in survivability would not alter birthrates.

History has shown that it does alter birthrates, it makes them lower and people have kids at an older age.

Point.

I guess the question would become would the sum of the population that was not able to receive the genetic therapy continue to procreate at the same rate?

I guess it raises a number of questions, mainly would the therapy be offered worldwide, or only to the first world countries?

But yet stem cell research is limited.

It wouldn't help me with it being 10 years ago anyways?
