Eugenics, anyone?

It's here, it's queer, and you'd better get used to it. That's almost the message of this BBC report about how great it is that embryos were screened for 'breast cancer' genes before conception.

"The parents will have been spared the risk of inflicting this disease on their daughter", said the doctor who carried out the 'treatment'.

WHAT?!? The parents would have INFLICTED breast cancer on their child? No more than when a child is born, its parents have already inflicted inevitable death on it. It's that ridiculous.

Suggesting having 'bad' genes is the fault of the parents is just as disgusting to me as racism, sexism or any other kind of persecution. What gives you, Mr. Scientist, the privilege to start dictating what is and isn't 'right' about people? Or which aspects of people you'd like to 'change'?

Eugenics has arrived in this 'free' country. Doctors and scientists need to realise their job is not to experiment with the population, and control people; it's to conduct ethical research and TREAT people with the individual soverignty they possess that no-one should ever take away.

Just another example of how authority is drunk on power and wants to control us all. Where's our guns, just incase we need to defend ourselves against authoritarianism? Oh right...the authoritarians took them.
