simply ducking out of this issue because its potentially "fascist" is a soon to be as backwards as believing the earth is flat.
because with biogenetics looming on the horizon a whole new minefield is opening up, and there's no way to reverse the tide. you can refuse to deal with it or deny it but thats just being regressive.
i find it fascinating actually. the fear is that we could genetically engineer ourselves into a kind of infertile retardation which would end the species.
will these technologies be used perfectly? of course not. will there be mistakes and monstrosities? of course. will it likely make things simply "better" or "worse". nope.
there will of course be regressive conservatives trying to get in the way and chanting "some things are best left up to nature!".
but rejecting this technology and leaving it up to "mother gaia" is more fucking retarded than any chromosome deficient damaged tard beast awakening to the world in the arms of a mad scientist.
