Hey , this is a good idea isn't it?
Every newborn has its genes mapped, then in 70 years time or something when social and
economic objections have been overcome the people in power can then perform 'ethnic
cleansing' or what ever they want to without fear of eradicating the superior ones. Or
insurance companies can pick and choose who they want to accept for life or vehicle
insurance, employers can have choices of doing the same. Hey ..... bugger me ....... we
could then get rid of the blind ones, the deaf ones, the downes syndrome ones, and those
with physical deformities, and lets not forget people with ginger
hair.............................
(ok, I finished taking the pee)

Not only that but there are arrogant arseholes who think they can patent
your DNA too. You basically don't even own the rights to your own body.
They must think we were born on a christmas tree yesterday.
