Sounds like this will be called racist.

Awkward indeed. Racial advantages and disadvantages have been realized for some time, though the ability to discuss the reality has been suppressed by the PC culture we live in. Over time, these racial characteristics are going to be spread about, or hybridized. As to what folks’ll do with their bit of knowledge on genetics is another matter. The old reflex of eugenics will kick again, but I’m not entirely sure if the promise ever matched any of the results. There was that attempt to terminate one of the racial lines some 60 years ago, but I put it down to a poor application of the theory by the Left wing. Funny how they try to mix their science with politics and come up with a purely evil result. Does any of this sound familiar re. global warming?

Suffice to expect that genetic design attempts are going to be a good deal more difficult than folks expect. In general, the human genome is a bit more complex than most folks are prepared for. Twiddling around with it can produce unexpected results, like neoplasms. Lots of fatal genetic combinations will be produced. They may come up with successful attempts, but it will be more akin to finding a cure for cancer. They’re going to have to sneak up on their goal slowly, and even then it won’t be a simple quest.

Ping for later

Sounds like something right out of the film “Gattaca” (a movie which I highly recommend). Genetics will only be able to explain so much.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Where did they find this bloody great nutshell? In a nutshell: the new genetics will reveal much less than hoped about how to cure disease, and much more than feared about human evolution and inequality, including genetic differences between classes, ethnicities and races...

Ut oh! The egalitarians won’t like this.

Hey Steve..... paging Steven J Gould!!!

Your scientific liberal bias is being uncovered!!

Nothing to worry about here. Natural Selection ... is natural.
