Your talking to a woman who still goes to a Tailor to get her suits made. The quality of the human hand and the unique design is lost in mass production. Technology should enhance the human experience, not replace it.Betticus said:Okay, let's say that the world is at the brink of being technologically advanced enough that your basic laborer type of job is going away, being replaced by robots much like the assembly lines for cars but smarter. Think of some of the remote controlled or semi autonomous machines being developed for research on other planets. There's no reason that farms can't be pretty much totally automated. The way our economies are going now the divide between wealth and poverty is widening. I think it's the phase out of the mundane labor force. So why not start planning for this eventuality now and developing the methodology for human selective breeding?
Selective breeding is a horrible idea in my opinion. Ever seen Gattaca? One of my favorite movies about prejudice. Genetic engineering underestimates the power of the human will. What good is the potential of perfection if you have no desire to fulfill it?
