I support therapies like stem-cell research that could cure cancers, and help people with diseases like MS.

But creating people is simply wrong. It will only widen the disparity between rich and poor, where the wealthy will have children that will be 'perfect' , whereas the middle, and working class will have children that will see themselves as inferior. That will create a lot of social ills.

My position exactly.

I should add that I am studying biology and one small change anywhere can have more effects than you realise - the body uses the same chemicals in different places for different things - this is why drugs have side effects, I think changing these proteins will cause problems.


Renguard is a wonderful initiative
