Risk estimates? Only shows us how GODS power is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis is very very scary!
ReplyDeleteLike the movie Gattica, discrimination will be based on IQ and possible genetic problems in the future!
Designer babies will be on the horizon!
Nothing good will come of this!

ReplyDeleteLook on the bright side: less libtards.
ReplyDeleteWhy not have healthier and smarter beings ? We have been ruled by a bunch of inbred elites for too long. We have used science and technology to extend and burden our societal resources on persons that should long be dead that make no contribution. Why not make ourselves more in God's image it's not like we have been responsible guardians of his creation ? We are going to need to be stronger and smarter to set things right.
ReplyDeleteAt least our Soylent Green will be healthier for humans to eat.
ReplyDeleteIs there a test for common sense and kindness?
