    The modifications could be done at or after conception.

    Well it wouldn't change alot.

    There is no depression gene, external social factors are what affect your life. Besides, you can't stop death with HGT. Your genes do play some part in your personality, but what happens after you're born is the main contributer.

    Some believe that genes are little dictators that make us behave as we do. There are possible links, but no one gene can determine your life, the human body is to complex.

    The issue of homosexuality for instance, human sexuality is very complex. In the words of Dr. David Suzuki "our personal circumstances, our religion, even our sex can change the way our genes affect us. The way genes affect us depends upon our circumstances. If you read in the newspapers that scientists have discovered a gene for alcoholism, or criminality, or intelligence, or whatever, take it with a pinch of salt. To tell how a particular gene affects someone, the scientists would need to know everything about that person�s environment as well, and even that might not be enough"

    If someone says they have liked people of thier own sex all thier life, I'm not going to argue with that, because I'd believe them. There may be a genetic link to one's sexuality, I believe you can still make a choice, you don't have to have to live be your genes, but by your own personal environment.

    Would be cool if you could heal faster, climb walls, spit acid, see in total darkness, glow, etc. but these people with special ability propably would be brutally butchered, it's the human nature.

    If I could rearrange my daughter's genes I'd make her frisky incestral beast so she'd finally have sex with me.

    As a religous person, Xena, how do you feel about genetic engineering? Many people say it goes against God, but I don't buy it. Humanity has been fighting God's twisted will since the advent of medicine. It is our duty as sentient creatures to evolve. While you may not believe in Darwin's natural selection, Homo sapiens sapiens' current evolution is measured with technology. We used to throw pointy sticks at animals, but now we're taking photographs of quasars 14 billion lightyears away and forming theories of their existence. We can't really develop new organs, limbs, or resistances because we override biology with science.

    We won't evolve a resistance to Diabetes, but we'll create a vaccine that sterilizes its effects. (Although I guess technically Caucasians have a much lower chance of developing type 1 Diabetes than other races for some reason) We won't grow wings, we created airplanes to do the work for us. Although, doctors are studying African prostitutes, since some of them have developed innate resistances to HIV and AIDS over time. It's an interesting dichotomy, first world countries use technology to evolve, while third world countries use the old method.

    Some scientists performed a study that concluded that homosexual males respond to male pheramones the same way a straight heterosexual does: subconscious arousal. That is beyond choice, it's biology. However, I'll spare you a scientific assault on your beliefs. If you want I could search for the article.

    I'll get back to you on this, bed time for me.

    Lol. I know the arousal isn't a matter of choice, I meant not giving in to your sexual desires is a matter of choise.

    Okay, good. I have habit of editing my long posts over 5 times to increase its readability and worth.

    You can't honestly expect a gay person to go straight more than you can expect a straight person to go gay. I think it's unfair to look at homosexuality and say "Sorry, god messed up creating you, no sex for you!"

    Well if you look at it from my POV, humans are imperfect through their own doing. I believe god created us perfect. Though we know each others Opinions on this so we don't need to go indepth.

    Yeah it would be real hard though. Life is unfair nowadays, and having a sexual desire that you wish you didn't have wouldn't be nice. There are lots of disabilities that afflict the human body, it's part of life.

    I wasn't kidding about my daughter. If you saw her you'd want to spread her legs too. Maybe I was kidding about you though. Maybe not?
