Indeed - it was a breeding programs like we use for livestock to get the best inheritable traits.

Excellent point.

God gave man dominion over animals, so it is permissible to do this, but even then it's an imperfect science. Look at horse racing, there hasn't been a Triple Crown winner in over thirty years; however, the science behind breeding (genetics, etc.), veterinary medicine, and nutrition are light years beyond what they were in the 1970s.

We will NEVER achieve perfection, but we can accept that we are perfect in that He created each of us EXACTLY THE WAY He wanted to.

Exactly right. Imho, it may be that only those who despise mankind desire its physical perfection.
