2.100 Genetically modified humans
Andronicos "The Great" as Director of the Human Race and Manager Planet Earth commands and Andronicos "The Cynic" responds as follows.........
I have worked with some of the largest computer systems in the World specialising in Problem and Change Management". Whether it be your PC at home or the biggest computer network for the biggest bank in the World, the following computer law is undeniable: "problems cause the need to change things and "things" that change sometimes become problems." Speaking from experience it is often the smallest change that causes the biggest problems to fix which impacts many, many people. Genetically modified humans, by which I mean changing the DNA of a person or their future offspring is to be handled with the utmost care. You'll feel a bit of a twit in 10 years if the DNA "treatment" to give you a very macho hairy chest and huge muscles has the side effect of a minuscule penis and huge bunny rabbit ears. I do not accept the idea that a rich ruling elite should be able to buy specialist DNA programming expertise to design and create customised babies. I will allow the technology, within reason, to be used to eliminate sickness and hereditary disease, but not to create super babies for the sake of it. Two olympic athletes who decide to have a family and give birth to a super athlete is fine, but two couch potatoes should not produce a laboratory super high jumper with 4 legs. I direct that 12 eminent people, cautious, incorruptible, experts in their field, highly respectable and paragons of ethical virtue be appointed trustees of issuing global guidelines on these matters. Deliberation must take place in public. Only votes of 9 out of 12 or more will pass and will be final.
