“So we will have a society of intelligent wusses. B.S. We will always need warriors but Im sure that warriors can be created too. Have you ever read Brave New World?”
Exactly! And if we get ‘em ethical enough, then there’s no need for nonsense like ‘love’ or ‘family bonds’ or ‘religion’ ..... is there?

The Professor isn’t even close to being original just take a look back to the dawn of the 20th century to the likes of Margaret Sanger & the racial biologists of 30’s Germany . Pathetic that these idiots think that folks won’t remember that the history of the 20th century is literally an open mass grave & that the ideas put forth by the Professor created not only mass graves but murder factories like Auschwitz & Treblinka. I’ll pass on your version of utopia professor .

The focus group meets in Starbucks every second Thursday. So far, the new humans will be very small to have a low carbon footprint. They have two sets of sex organs so they can make a choice. Their genome is editable to remove undesired traits should any be discovered. There is an auto-abort gene should the feng shu specialist in attendance determine any negative vibes. Best, when they die they decompose into tofu.
LOL! You have them pegged to the wall.

ethics are Humanist morals based on nothing but a consensus of people without a foundation for those morals.
Ships without sails or rudders, do not even know their destination.

Personality traits may well be entirely genetic.Anything is possible, but I highly doubt it.
