"If and when scientists figure out how to re-tailor the human genome, the rich will first buy themselves better genes. - I am not sure it entirely works that way. Your genetic heritage is just that: Your heritage. If you want to buy better genes, I think you have to do that for somebody else [e.g offspring]. What ya gonna do, turn the clock back and rewire your brain development or something ? :-) Larf. Kind of a weird piece. As Tomski says, the bits on JBS Haldane are fine - celebrate his life, why not. But the rest seems like a bit of a brain fart. Regards, Shyaku
