> using tech as some sort of Delphic Oracle for human lives (especially the young) may not be in optimal taste. I feel like we have plenty of dystopian science fiction warning us not to go down this path. GATTACA is a personal favorite of mine. > Possibly just letting life be life, and not getting too frisky with putting boundaries on human potential, may be preferred. I'm inclined to agree... but all life is competitive. For example, the idea that we might someday be able to cheaply and effectively choose or alter babies' genes gives me the "ick" in a major way. And yet, someone is going to do it. And the ones who do will probably end up out-competing the ones who don't. What to do about it?
