    Which of course would spark fuel for the fire of eugenics again, and we really don't wanna relive that nightmare again

    Also fwiw I don't particularly trust American society in general to perform this kind of genetic modifications overall.

    I think that's what's missing from a lot of discussion today. I'm firmly of the belief that the majority of people want some sort of compromise. The issue is that the extremists on one side or the other are so hard line and will not compromise, and are so vocal about it that it kills discussion.

    WrestlingSmarks Ethics, Morals, and Philosophy Debate Club

    Question for the gallery.

    Did anyone here read any of the Alvin Schwartz series "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark"? I used to read them a lot in middle school and I think they're what really got me interested in urban legends, scary stories, and creepy pastas in general.
