Political rants

There's a difference... I'm not arguing against figuring out ways to end genetic defects... But, yes... Let's take that route. Beep beep, I'm a jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!! If I could figure a way to stop the odds of either of my children having to go through the depression bullshit they'll likely endure(Just a hunch on my part... unfortunately.), I'd do that in a heartbeat . Would I choose how they look or say...increase intelligence or some other shit? Nope. But, let's float this moral grey ship, shall we?

In the movie Gattaca, that's exactly what the parents did. Their first child was born with a very high risk of having a heart condition. So their only request for their 2nd was that he was healthy. They left the rest up to chance. That said, some other parents wanted their kid to be born with 6 fingers on each hand to be a better pianist. I think that's going a bit too far, but the kid is still better off than being born with a crippling birth defect. 6 fingers could also be handy if the kid wanted to be a rock climber, guitar player, or wide receiver.

Would you feel different about your (Or, yourself?) parents knowing they chose to have you on the condition that you looked or could perform a certain way? That's the moral grey(One, really. There are plenty more.), but I'm sure you know that. It's a fun hypothetical, I suppose. Sure, cure all ailments, I'm all on board for that part and see no morality issues there.

Isn't that the problem faced by every invention created with good intentions. There's no shortage of people finding ways to use it in ways it was never supposed to be. That's where the importance of ethics comes into play when it comes to the medical field and life in general. I mean aren't parents already doing stuff like that when they decide their child is the wrong gender? A lot of kids go through weird phases as they grow up. My niece went through a phase for 6 months where she decided she was a cat. I don't see that as a reason to start medically altering their body. Some parents apparently think they should. Wouldn't it have been better for the parent to make that decision before the child was born? Might have saved the kid a life time of therapy. But who's to say.

lol At the last part. I get ya, though.

lol Elon is such a troll

I don't know if accurate is the best word for it. Sounds more like desperate grasping to me. And for the record, well... You all know how I feel about cops, and authoritarians, right? Watching the RNC crank out the smear propaganda just makes me wanna vote for her as a protest vote.
