“Though it is true that sometimes it is lawful to tolerate a lesser moral evil in order to avoid a greater evil or in order to promote a greater good," it is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it (18)—in other words, to intend directly something which of its very nature contradicts the moral order, and which must therefore be judged unworthy of man, even though the intention is to protect or promote the welfare of an individual, of a family or of society in general.”

And why is this even necessary?

Scientists have discovered a way of manipulating a gene that turns animals into drones that do not become bored with repetitive tasks. Yeesh. It may well be that we'll see Huxley's "Brave New World" before Orwell's "1984" after all...

I can't believe I'm reading this.
"Genetically manipulating people to become slaves is not in their interests, but there are other changes that might be. We have to make choices about what makes a good life for an individual."
WTF? How about being a whole, unadulterated, human being, flaws and all?

And why is this even necessary? Because, even with all our technological advances, the biological brain is still the most sophisticated computer in the world.

They're so overthinking this. Just turn the task into a videogame.

it will raise images of the Epsilon caste from Aldous Huxley's futuristic novel Brave New World. In Brave New World, didn't they create epsilons by administering alcohol to the fetuses?

Was it necessary to include Carville's pic with your post? Right at lunchtime, too.

Right. And who is the "we" who's going to do the choosing?
