First Synthetic Cell manufactured

Almost there skurai

Now, is it going to end up with these babies (basically) being supperior to us, since we'll select the best genes and such for personality and intellect? If this becomes too powerful, the government could potentially create a "perfect" world for themself - infact, what we see right now could simply be a kind of "prototype". Of course, that's only coming from a bit of paranoia. Only wish we could edit the genes we already have. It's almost unfair.
What if that child grows up to dislike being made that way...? I mean... it's unnatural, right? We're heading right into the Cyberpunk era, huh?

Quite right. We are entering a sick maddening future.

Would you have it any other way?

Either we do it, or we make someone else that will. Good point, D3V.

Would you have it any other way?

Ya, I'd have us bring this whole evil clusterfuck to ruins.

Wtf. make some1 else that will...?

Do something twice as bad, silly.
I mean, if they have all the perfect genes, they'll be smarter, faster, better, stronger. That means, their generation will work off of what we, old-types will have and they'll make something even better. In the end, we might even end up at war with the new-types.

How exactly do you see this as evil? They're going to be using these manufactured cells to help produces antibodies for flu vaccinations and such.

That highly depends on who "they" are. Just because the "they" in question may want to do nice things with it doesn't mean there aren't other people out there who would like to do bad things with the technology. I'm still not against it though.
