Eventually it will occur to someone that human beings are almost clones of one another ~ oh, BTW, that's already been figured out ~ really not much difference individual to individual ~ but there are still millions of differences that make it possible to uniquely identify each of us with a simple test.

If they want to clone your daughter they will be able to do that quite soon ~ but why? Gene therapy for CF and other genetic based diseases or problems is being developed now. Someone with a better gene would probably not mind sharing it with the world.

Regarding seeing better in the dark, lots of folks already have that. And seeing RED with maybe 4X the accuity of everyone else ~ I can do that. Anyone needs a red gene, they got it. I'm not picky.

I draw the line at combining human DNA with animals and Democrats though.

If you have a gene that can be useful to others, it should be your right to make the following determinations.

1. Do you want to share it?
2. Who do you want to share it with?
3. Do you want to be compensated?
4. How much compensation do you want?

I’m sure there are other considerations too. The point is, your physical being in every sense of the word is your property. Not your parents, your wife, your children, or some government agency should EVER get access to it without your expressed consent, and they should have to abide by your wishes every step of the way.

You wouldn’t let the government steal your car. You evidently are willing to let them steal part of you. I am not willing to let them steal part of me.

If you wish to donate your essence to the government to allow it to do whatever it wishes, then so be it. Sign off on it. I’m not going to. I don’t expect other citizens to buy into it. Don’t try to pass off the idea that I should adopt your flawed reasoning on this. I never will.
