Total crap idea ! > Who, or what chose the father of her children if not a human being? What chose her to have children if not her? It is quite obvious that she, a human being, chose to have children. Ipso facto, a human being did the genetic selection of her to have children. She also, more than likely, was not raped and therefore selected the bloke to indulge in mating behaviour. Being a world-renowned professor, you'd think she knew that doing mating behaviour with a bloke, without contraception, could resu;t in genetic selection of children. So, as you should be able to see, human beings, aka people, and specifically female people, do the genetic selecting already. They have always done the genetic selection. What I'm proposing is that they be able to do less guesswork, crossing of fingers and hoping they don't get a mutant baby, and instead directly select the DNA they want. You are saying that it should be illegal for her to choose. Which means you think the state should dictate the genetic selection process. Which is what you are saying is a bad thing = state run eugenics = women forced to have babies using the processes dictated by the state. It's rather obvious that if women are not allowed to do genetic selection in a sensible and scientific way, they will be stuck with the same methods used by chimps = very limited knowledge and not much choice. As usual, as soon as governments stick their ignorance into things and start bossing people around, they do stupid things. Women have done a reasonable job until now. I say leave them to select the losers and ethnically cleanse them from the gene pool, and leave them alone to use whatever selection process they choose. Admittedly, they have selected plenty of people who were not fit for replication - look around you, and at you. That's evidence that they could do with some help. Women have had enough men and governments telling them how their and their children's lives should be. You should mind your own business. Mqurice
