Just to be clear...

I am NOT morally opposed to genetic engineering. Just not practical for really complex science-fiction things as yet.

And of course, there are genetic engineering processes on simple traits that seem to work just fine. Plants, for one.

Some genetic diseases may be isolated enough on the genetic structure to make it worth risking, even in humans, particularly if the alternative is death or severe disablement.

I support continued research in this area.

But I still think if we start engineering for trivial crap like "beauty," we're asking for it from Mother Nature.
