Genetically Engineering Humans

Sergey Baranov, GrahamHancock.com Waking Times ‘’Genetically engineering ‘ethical’ babies is a moral obligation, says Oxford professor’’ ‘’Genetically screening our offspring to make them better people is just ‘responsible parenting’, claims an eminent Oxford academic’’ ‘’By screening in and screening out certain genes in the embryos, it should be possible to influence how a child turns out’’ “If we have the power to intervene in the nature of our offspring — rather than consigning them to the natural lottery — then we should.” “Whether we like it or not, the future of humanity is in our hands now. Rather than fearing genetics, we should embrace it. We can do better than chance.”(1) Well, apparently, to me as a father, responsible parenting means something completely different from what it obviously means to an Oxford professor. I’m glad I’m not a part of an academic establishment and my life does not depend on government grants. Thus, being a free thinker, I would rather say that genetically modified babies would mean the end of humanity as we know it. I’m sure you are familiar with the term ‘’Eugenics’’, but just in case you aren’t, here is a brief overview: Eugenics is the bio-social movement which advocates practices to improve the genetic heritage of human species.
