OP, I was specially interested your mention of Hitler's attempts to create a master race and the possible superiority of the jewish race.
It has long been my contention that Hitler inadvertently created a master race, or certainly assited it. He specifically took a group of people,
european jews, and subjected them to such pressure that 6 million plus died. Who survived this holocaust?, the very toughest, the luckiest and the
smartest. The holocaust was surely the most violent experiment in social darwinism, yet witnessed.
In 1948, refugee camps of holocaust survivors, unwelcome in their home countries, settled in what is modern Isreal. Present day Irealis are decended
from this very refined gene pool.
Also, i think it should be born in mind that in medieval Spain, jews were forbidden from working in most occupations and trades. All the was left for
them was banking, precious metals and jewells, hence creating a long standing tradition in these feilds.
Why does everyone else seem to dislike even hate them?, quite simply the early roman churh blamed the hebrews for the crucifiction of Jesus. Had the
Hebrews put Jesus to death the method used would have been stoning. Crucifiction being purely roman, but how could any church accept responsibilty for
killing it's own god.
On your point about genetic engineering. This will always be a fucntion of a families ability to pay for such treatment. In the fullness of time i
predict or imagine two species evolving, a super-humanity and a sub-humanity. Do you think this wise or desirable?, or more pointedly, what if any
moral or ethical restrictions should be put on genetic research?
