I'm quite certain Corbyn will win the next one. The reason most people voted Tory is because they didn't fully understand what Conservatives were about. Mrs. Mycroft voted tory because she wanted the human rights act scrapped, but she's horrified now at everything else they're doing.
People often worry whether they're too weird. And that's a normal anxiety to have. A woman whose never had any sort of arousal in her life due to asexuality may stare across the bar at another woman and think, 'I wish I was normal like her,' little knowing that the woman she's staring at can...
He can still completely alienate America from its allies and foreign relations. Do you really think Iran is going to stick to sanctions with a Muslim-Hater as President of America?
It really matters to us what people think of us. We balk at the idea of being considered a bit weird. We want to be considered as nice, as normal. We're pretty acutely receptive to whether we fit in, or whether we don't. We praise individualism, and want to be considered unique but we are, in...
I bet if a study was done to see how many occasions someone was shot domestically (outside of criminal happenings) while both shooter and shootee were armed, there would only be a minority of such incidents.
It's fine if you have enough foreknowledge to prepare and to get your gun. But mostly you wont be granted such foreknowledge. Nobody sends you an email a week beforehand to inform you of their plans. They just turn up, shoot you, and 9/10 you wont have your gun there to do anything about it.
But the cases of passing on a recessive gene, or a heart-defect amount, more or less, to being the same problem.
And as gene-editing gets fully under way, the case for genetics in incestuous offspring will become a nonissue anyway.
So what about in the near future then, when Gene-editing is quite widely available. If the only argument against it is 'shrek-children', then gene editing will eventually make that objection obsolete.
Really? So what if you meet a girl in a bar, you screw her without protection (given that my claims have no support as you say) and you discover later that he's HIV positive, or has an STD?
Sure that's true. But like I said: the problem of offspring is one of education. And non-incestuous couples have deformed offspring all the time.
If a person, for example, has a congenital heart defect which has a high-risk of being inherited by their offspring, should that person be prevented...
