The key question isn't: Should we do genetic engineering when we know the complete effects of it but should we try genetically engineering even when we don't know what result we will get.
Should we gather centralized databases of DNA sequences of every human being and mine them for gene data? Are potential side effects worth the risk of starting now with genetic engineering? Do we accept the increased inequality that could result out of genetic engineering. How do we measure what constitutes a good gene? Low incarnation rates, IQ, EQ?
