I think we should wait and see with the LFAs. For all we know they are just evolving differently and we have no right to cut within any category... Evolution takes a really really long time and we don't yet know all of the mechanics involved. They may seem to be a lesser race, but their difference in genetics precipitates a different path of change. Until we can accurately predict that path, changing it could result in less diversity among our kind.

Of course their are other solutions I just came up with (exposing cultivated germlines to germline viruses and other experiments that mirror evolution)... what doesn't kill you may make you stronger), but they aren't possible until we can more accurately predict genetics and understand genetic histories... but it really doesn't matter until we control our own destiny...

The important part is that we someday own the research and know it well enough to predict a person based on genetic expression.[/quote]
spoken like hitler.  you express your opinions too well militant pro-cure.
The technological capacity is much higher today.  We're capable of knowing what to do to help, when the genes are identified, and known for what they do and how they're regulated.  Gene therapy is going through advances too.  They aren't evolving differently.  They're being negatively selected against.  They're bearing the losses of the random processes that produce genetic variation.  Genetic diversity can be managed.  Someday, the knowledge to predict and understand the consequences/value of certain variations may exist.  Experiments that simulate evolution seem like a great idea.  We don't need to leave things up to chaos and volatility any longer.  There should be plans made to prevent genetic factors from damaging individuals' functioning.[/quote][/quote]
