That's just fence-sitter talk, man. Have the courage of your convictions. Tim is famously equivocal.


I may or I may not be. In the case of Eugenics, I am firmly and unequivocally in the "That is an insanely s**t idea developed by people who prefer to generalise than get all confused by the complexities of human interaction."

Alternatively. There are unarguably people without whom the world would be a better place. If we could devise a good way of identifying these people before they are born, and preventing their birth, it saves us the bother (and moral unpleasantness) of hunting them down and killing them like an endangered animal in Sarah Palin's (telescopic) sight.

The only unarguable thing is that world would be a different place.

That's the beauty of our race isn't it? We always find infinite ways to do something, including wiping ourselves out. The Gods just made wager on us i think...one of them said "you know what would be fun, making a race so unstable in its thinking processes that at one point it can wipe itself out"
"Alright, let's do that, and i bet my magical slippers that they'll wipe themselves out in 6,5 million years!"
"5 million! And can we intervene?"
"Only as reincarnations of them or as something magical...like angels or stuff, no all-powerfull intervening!"
"This will be fun to watch!"

I consider wanking into a cup to be sex - lonely sex, unless you can get the nurse to give a hand.

So, that just leaves adoption
