totalitarians entered the debate cause Venus was born with Soviet tanks in her country. Sure if comrades could install some genes that would make people less thinking and more servile... they'd do it. That's how they cherry picked the leaders in their countries. And imagine that instead of killing/retiring those who rebelled, they could simply replace few genes. Scary.

There is good leaders, but they are few in many. And I doubt Havel or Nelson Mandela would be FOR gene replacement.

I think we can progress without messing with our genes. We managed to do so for millenia... so why screw with our potential? I try not to eat GMO and many people do the same... not sure I want to ever meet GMO.
