[Wonder Warthog]

"Like it or not, a refusal to consider medical advances that strengthen your offsprings genetic code will lead to your offspring being weaker and fewer in number. Breeding a race of slaves, in effect."

Nothing wrong with "considering medical advances that strengthen your offsprings genetic code" as long as other humans aren't killed in either developing or implementing the technology that will do so. It's called ETHICS (and not Peter Singer's).

By that logic, no new medicines, surgical techniques or genetic technologies will be developed, as they all involve the substantial risk of death.

Both the Chinese and lawyers *love* that. Lawyers will sue, sue, sue, and the Chinese will watch the west fail to advance at the same rate. We'll soon be awash in geneticallty defective lawyers and genetically superior Chinese.

What you support isn't *ethics.* It's *arbitrary* *decisions.*
