Thread:Forum:Genetic evolution vs memetic evolution (LQT!)/Gene propogation machines/reply (44)

"No sane human would refuse safe genetic engineering for themselves or their unborn children" begs the question, "is genetic engineering safe?"

We, as a species, do not yet have enough data for an informed opinion about that.

"I want my genes to spread." is not an "argument against eugenics" but rather a set of primordial urges built into biology. Going against those urges will take some serious police power of the state. Centrally planned bureaucratic control of human breeding? Who wishes for that again? Who thinks they can gather the authority to make it stick?
