> What I find exciting is the prospect that we could potentially, in the future, remove disease-gene loci from the human genome (DNA). A great many diseases can be traced back to defective gene loci. We know that there are people who were probably *born* with tendancies to sociopathic behavior (because of cognitive deficits in the brain that don't allow them to feel guilt for doing evil). One day we might be able to cure sick minds before they are born, via genetic surgery. Of course, the question then must be asked "What are the ramifications to Free Will in that case?"



more than that, what are the ramifications to the human race? Why stop at removing the disease part? Why not add parts that make you super strong, super smart, etc. I'm not sure I could condone that.
