What do you think? I personally choose yes, because it can cure a wide range of diseases. (There is no middle option - everyone would vote for it. You must choose either.)
im not against things like heart implants or things, but things than enhance us just doesn't seem right
well, it depends. im for, like, stem cell research. im not for like genetic modification

Don't care.

Only if vision augmentation is an option.

If you mean like Stem cell research and healing deceases, fuck yeah. If you mean improving humans, no, only if tested on humans and checked if it won't fuck is up even in multiple generations.

I'm 17 and I have to get a bilateral hip replacement, which I will have to get replaced every 10 years or so until I die, each surgery being more difficult then the last. My femurs are abnormally thin due to blood loss from the hip dysplasia that I've had for my entire life, making it hard enough as it is just to implant the new prosthetic into the bone, It's very possible they might break my femurs at a critical area which then my only option might be a hip fusion. I would very much like to grow new hips if that was possible. Which it won't if we don't continue to do genetic research in human beings. I see no problem with it. The pros greatly outnumber the cons.

[QUOTE=Membrain;20620718]thats stupid youre stupid.[/QUOTE] So if a semi-intelligent species arose you'd treat it like an animal? Semi-sentient, semi-sapient. Whatever.
For.
[QUOTE=Billiam;20620732]So if a semi-intelligent species arose you'd treat it like an animal? Semi-sentient, semi-sapient. Whatever.[/QUOTE] id treat it as what it is, but id acknowledge its intelligence. im not gonna start calling superintelligent dogmen people
Who disagree shall not receive a powerfist in the future
If you mean genetic engineering like cloning than I'm against. Just imagining a clone of me horrifies me.
Very much for. Now that we've reached the point where natural selection no longer has an effect, genetic engineering is the only way for us to evolve.
