Hmm..you know I think its helpful that you bring up eugenics. Just a side note for Dormammu or anyone who posesses knowledge: just how many traits can the technology that we posess pick up from genomes as of today?
I've been hearing about sometime in the future couples could potentially "choose" just what kinds of traits they would preferr in their offspring. (hair color, eye color, intelligence, athleticism, ect.) I'm not well-informed about such experiments but I can definately see an ethical problem with such scientific practices. Anyone with knowledge of these practices or links to sites is definately deeply appreciated.
Dormammu, you mentioned "If a couple knows they have the ressesive genes for a harmful disease they might take steps to make shure that their children don't inherit the disease"..what kind of "steps" are you referring to? I'm not sure if you mean PREVENTIVE steps or simply a "heads up" so treatments can be arrranged.
Also, how successful are we at this time in detecting likelyhood of illnesses/diseases in ones later life?
