[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] What do you mean, "Oh my God what?" You suggested that people be genetically screened for violent tendancies, and those who have them be shot at birth!! That's horrible!! While the Y chromosome for men can be detected, and the X for women, that is a major physical trait we're talking about. It's a whole freaking chromosome too. Very large. To genetically test for psychological tendancies and extrapolate the probablility they would manifest themselves would be nearly impossible, if not entirely so, for reasons stated by Aethelwer. Also, how would you bracket such a tendancy anyway? What sort of range would you use? Oh, this one's a seven. Too bad. *BANG!* It's inhumane. Who are we to play God and determine who should live and die based on something that might not even manifest itself? Just because someone is genetically prone to having cancer doesn't mean that we should kill them because they won't be a productive asset to society for their entire lives. We are not here to determine the fate of another. How can we deny someone life who hasn't even had a chance to prove their worth? [/QB][/QUOTE]
