It basically comes down to what you belive in. I can't sway people either way, as thier are so many different debates outside the scope of this thread.

Basically I see humans playing with thier own evolution as a dead end road. Basically, we don't know everything we should before we do it. We might decide that having an IQ of 190 is good accross the board, what we may not see is that the other traits that may go with being _stupid_ (I use this saying that anything under 190 in a cardboard cut out world would in deed be stupid if not viewed as reatarded). There is a reason that we reproduce sexually and that genes are created with recesive/dominant pairs. Certain recesive traits that we may not think we will need, would infact get ripped out of our system.

Then you look at the fact of who could afford such a procedure... The rich will become god like while the poor become more magatized by the rich. Not suprisingly, I would rather be the poor in this rate. As controling such things in a person would indeed destroy our planet on seemingly every level. But that is just my narro foresight.

EDIT: btw milf i noticed your worth more than me on the other thread... that makes you a better person. (Sarcastically of course in relation to the article.) I think that system for defining price would be taken into consideration when altering.
