      I believe in the right hands that some types of eugenics can do a world of good. I know hitler and japanese did it and it got an ugly label. But what about if we could tell a parent this child will have no diseases his entire life at the stage of birth? Kind of like Gataca

        All other concerns aside, I think if we start controlling genes we’ll end up writing our genes into a corner.
