A revolutionary scientific progression of a natural mechanical nature. If mankind is to survive, self enhancement of our human bodies will be key to our very existence.

I do believe human genetic engineering is inevitable, and will come sooner than we think.
There are no ethical barriers IMHO, we have been involved with our bodies and bodies of our children routinely in healthcare, this is no different.
Quite the opposite, it would be unethical to have the capability, but deny our children the right to the best genome available.

If you truly believe what you just wrote, that human genetic engineering is no different than any other branch of healthcare, then we have nothing further to discuss.
That's just insanity, man.

Please don't be another member who thinks that morality or ethics is always tied into religion. I'm not religious. Why the hell did you just spend a post talking about religion? Can't someone mention morality or ethics these days without being accused of being some sort of religious fanatic? How demoralised and desensitised to correct ethics has our society really become?
There have been MANY things that are unethical, imo.
-GM crops that are known to cause disease.
-Cloning an animal that takes hundreds of duds to get a decent one
-Introducing nano-material into the environment without considering the repercussions
-Nuclear power??
I mean, I could go on and on. For anyone who still has a tiny bit of humanity, it's easy to see there's many unethical practices in the sciences these days, and this has been the case for a very long time.
