Mr Worf, the Raelians you've met and the ones I've met are apparently of a completely different equivalency class. The ones I encountered my last time in L.A. during the first OJ trial made lemmings look lethal.

They have fantasies of giant axe wielding Teutonic warriors ala video game. Don't discount the Raelians. They don't have the restraints that ethical scientists do around the world so they could come up with some large developments. But then again it does sound a bit like a Bond film doesn't it? The claims of an Italian clone are being done by Facist Neo-Nazi Italians which are a little different than the generic goombahs in southern Italy.

There have already been threats to make a clone army by the Italians and the Raelians, but we could end up in a situation like on Star Trek with Eugenic wars.

In a word, no, not even if it meant ridding them of the genetic combo that gave me what I've got. Though an improvement on my genes would be an incalculable gain for Mankind...

Very soon the option of gene manipulation may come available. There are already methods that lean in that direction. Our near future may turn into a world that is similar to the movie Gattica. If the option became available do you think that if this option were available would you take that step to give your child the best advantages that he or she can have? Another question. Do you think that this kind of gene manipulation weaken the gene pool? -- Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. Sign up now. Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
