    Um, where is the implants or do I need to be reborn as a child. I'm going the Orochimaru route.
    Going the Orochimaru way having to switch bodies every few years would suck.

    Well, I think because his jutsu was taken away when he had to get different bodies every 3 years other than that, he was probably cool.

    FOH with that pokieman ? .....


    don't know what a pokieman is, but that's naruto ? , not pokemon

    Same thing........




    not really, but i guess it is to folks who don't watch anime

    Never got into it.........

    Grew up on old school comic books........


    On topic:

    I foresee mad unethical ? stemming from this technology..........

    Especially when they find genetic markers for "intelligence"........

    It is gonna get real good then.............

    I don't really see anything wrong with this to be honest. If we could add a gene to make people smarter or more resistant to disease or stronger, why wouldn't we. My only problem would be the fact that it would be something only done for those with the money to pay for it which would lead to the rise tiers of humanity which would suck. But if certain things were done to all people across the board in order to better humanity, there's no problem with me.

    It would do far worse than suck........

    Yeah, and unfortunately, with the world the way it is, that's pretty much what would happen. There is no way they'd come up with something that say, made humans immune to all viruses, and not make people pay out the ass to have it done to their child.

    @drew_ali watch your tongue when you talk about Anime!!
    The Japanese Robots shows whats happening now in Japan Robotics. These comic book artists are prophets in disguise.

    So yes, I would totally endorse this and humanity would become better. I would take some Komodo Dragon DNA and some Lion DNA and some scorpion DNA, no spider DNA thank you over done series.

    This is the beginning of the division. New genetically modified humans will be born with superior genes. This will enable them to dominate their 'natural' counterparts in every area of life - ultimately leading to the enslavement of the genetically-flawed humans by the genetically-perfected humans.

    First, physical/mental retards should be removed.

    Then, we can move on to improving the overall quality of humans.

    This is how it will start. We will eliminate ugly features. But of course, genetic modification will be a luxury only the wealthy can afford, so it will be the rich who have the most attractive children. Since media have brainwashed the human race into thinking appearance is important these genetically modified children will be praised by all for their superior appearance.

    Then low IQ's, mental retardation, and other psychological ailments will be eliminated - yet again solely from the wealthy gene pool. With genius level IQ, these new genetically modified humans will claim all of the best positions in society, leaving the scraps for the "normies" as they will call us.

    Improved immune systems, greater protein synthesis, larger in size, denser bones... all of these will follow. The only hope for the "normies" is to ? them all now.

    Do not care about the science or "moral" implications, humans have evolved to be capable of doing it, so it's the next step of human evolution imo. about time.

    I approve of them trying to create superior humans.

    I have great genes and normal humans are too far below me; so I welcome the prospect of being average or below average.

    What if they strip you of your current role in society and assign you a ? one meant for the genetically inferior... like farmer, or sewer cleaner?

    If they are able to do that, then I would not stop them.
