Transgenics is not just about perpetuating heirarchical values of human traits but also animal ones. <hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
Animals should not be included in trait modification because then we just break mother nature's cycle even more. We forget nature as we try to find the best method of nurture. Our resources can be better spent on getting the 'filtering down' process in full swing in terms of basic human liberties that some of us take for granted, such as access to a computer and the education to engage in a logical dialogue. We're getting excited already about altering our human bodies when we have forgotten to take care of the social body. Example, how does cosmetic surgery, for the purpose of vanity, solve anything within the sphere of our world's top problems, such as ecocide and global warming. Also, to assume that 'any female' would respond similarly to what is the 'ideal' traits in a mate is to assume the fact that men will do the same. With this, it is assumed that those who do not mate are those who are born with unwanted traits. But where do these unwanted traits come from? Certainly not from the 'mates with thee traits'. |
