I especially like your point about genetic exceptionalism at the end there.<BR/><BR/>I also think there are some other interesting questions implied here.

If so, on what grounds?<BR/><BR/>Pushing it even farther, if we can't mess with genes, how do we justify terminating a pregnancy because a fetus has a chromosomal abnormality? Is it ok to eliminate future people with genes we don't like, but not ok to alter their genetic makeup?Sue Trinidadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607124236112450990noreply@blogger.com
