You have read Brave New World too many times. The genome project is much more than that. By finding out where genes are located, we can begin to decipher their function (we don't know a whole lot right now) and then make targeted therapy to fight diseases.

Second, no matter what man does, nature will outsmart him. We can push to tailor make people (although this is waaay off) and why shouldn't we. We could eliminate many things that cause man misery. One's experiences make them the person they are, not their genetic code.

It was a good book, but its a work of fiction. No one would allow Omegas to be created nor a caste system, like the one in the book, to be created.

who's allow to say that. a greedy cloning corporation just might start doing that with his country and take over the world. but i guess me n tenblade killed this thread with our debates. this is why debates happen for a reason.
