I think it depends on who is defending. Seems to me, you are assuming that only the good folks will defend it. I assume, that every noble idea will find a bunch of greedy guys who distort and monetize it. This goes even faster if the idea is not noble. > even if I point that euthanasia for medical reason makes no > sense, and is close to murder when in presence of prohibition > laws.

So, you mean the depressive girl asked to be helped with her death? And they helped her.

If there was a real method to improve the offspring, then I assure you it would heve been a well guarded secret and only the richest club members would have been allowed in. Other people are just potential adversaries of theirs. It would have been the most stupid thing if they improved children of their adversaries, reducing the gap. Instead, their own children would get all the necessary improvements, so they can reign supreme for the next few centuries. Maybe millenia. Hoi polloi will be improved, too. Most probably, they will be bred into becoming universal donors, or something. Or maybe they will be born as a bunch of polite, easy going idiots - good for team working. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
