Although i share the intuitive reaction of disgust, the last statement "we're not ready for it" made me wonder : knowing the complexity of the genes expression problem, is there any point when we'll be able to say we're ready for it ?
Another question i wonder : is making a baby with someone else truely something responsible, knowing the number of things that we alter when we combine pretty randomly the DNA of two , sometimes extremely different, people ?
It's probably something like configuring a kernel and enabling way too many options. The guy's probably flipped a shitload of switches and there's a chance neither of the kids will boot correctly.
Totally. I have a very normal memory and have sometimes wished a particularly unpleasant or embarrassing memory was a bit less sharp. Then again, I’v often wished my memory was a bit sharper for learning new languages, names or technical details.
I too must admit to a morbid curiosity to see how this turns out. I suppose we’ll have to wait about twenty years to see.
