I did not assume you are an idiot, perhaps you are projecting? Had I assumed you were one, I'd have pressed the downvote and ignored your comment because I would not have considered the discussion worthwhile. The image that you portrayed of yourself is that of a vain person, one that limits themselves to appearances instead of inner qualities such as a person's inner world, beliefs and views. You chose to express that your filter is first and foremost a superficial one, you chose to express that people who have corrections to their DNA for example are somehow less of a __real__ human here: > I should in future expect to have to differentiate between real people and synthetically and genetically enhanced such? The immediate implication of this position is that correcting a person's genes due to a slight error, e.g. androgen insensitivity due to AR mutations, makes them less of a human ergo do not deserve the same treatment and rights as everyone else. In contrast, correcting for such issues would reduce the probability of cancer in this case, enable the people to have children and avoid a whole class of DSD. You painted that portrait all the way through, nobody else. Perhaps the inability to grasp the consequences of such positions is an argument as to why I should not have bothered.
