Boo has a question. If parents could select the sexual orientation of their children, should they? We’re closer to that option than you may think. My question to Boo and everyone who reads this story: if parents could select the race of their children, should they? To me it’s the same thing. For the record: I’m 100% in favor of the progress of science. Because I think suppressing science is ultimately futile; if the research isn’t done here, out in the open and reviewed by peers, it’ll just be done elsewhere. We’re going to have to get some politicians who both understand science and aren’t afraid to takle the tougher issues it generates, and soon. I have no doubt that in time, technology like this will be availble to humans, and some groups and governments will offer it/enforce its use in their populations. You know wingers here will clamor for it.
