They would dominate
that would be rather awesome
Ever seen the movie Gattaca?
Six-fingered pianist, crafted by parents who wanted him to be a master musician. Can play music written especially for six-fingered instrumentalists.
Personally, I'm dead set against genetic resequencing of human beings, except to cure otherwise-untreatable illnesses.
The minute you start making genetic 'improvements' to people, you take steps toward genetic eugenics. Not the best direction for humanity to head.
What if he doesn't want to play the guitar
Then he will be shot.Quote:

Unfortunately retardation does not lead to the growth of additional body parts. Although if Homer Simpson is right, incest might produce children with "too many" fingers.Quote:

I'm just pointing out that what is generally referred to as retardation (not reversed acceleration) is a mental thing, not physical.
I know, but I was TRYING to make a joke, in saying that to get 6 fingers, you could have an incestuous child, but they'd be retarded and a bad guitar player.
Thanks for ruining it.
No problem.
incest leads to various recessive traits coming out.
Gattaca is a cool movie. However, people shouldn't be bred for specific roles.
Django Reinhardt, with only 3 working fingers on his left hand, was one of the best guitar players ever.
