Because a father does not want to end up having to explain his younger son one day that he only got born to serve as an organ donor for his older brother. Because you do not want to explain a huge part of the population why within one generation they started to eat bad stuff they did not eat before, and do not eat anymore what before they ate. Because you do not want to deal with super soldiers from the tank whose inhibitions have been reduced by genetically designing them out. Becasue you do not want to tell your daughters they should stop fighting over their likes of hair colours and eye colours because in the end the choosen colours have been your choice anyway. Because you do not want to see natural mankind being subjugated by genetically designed superhumans, and the decision of becoming a super human or just a deficitary normal human should not be one of family income and money. Because you do not want the genetical foundation of a society rooting in establishing new castes of slaves. Becasue we have no clue on how genetically altering the gene pool will produce fallout on man'S biological ability to naturally adapt to changing environment stimuli and diseases, if his imune system no longer gets challenged and adaptation to challenges no longer get naturally carried over from generaiton to generation. Because - you know what? Start to use your imagination yourself. BTW, genetic doping is said to be already done by the Chinese. You cannot identify it anymore. You have been with the police, I understood. But you should not trust the power of laws here. And laws - are man-made as well. One day they might be made by genetically latered super humans. Are you really feeling well with this, considering your son is just a subordinate naturally born? - Its pandora's box. And I doubt we are wise enough to handle the consequences, I just need to look around in the world. Genetic alteration on this level - is more dangerous than fooling around with hydrogene bombs. Kids should not try this at home. And we are in principle still driven by instincts and drives form the earliest stone age.
