With genetic manipulation, we can repair genes that would otherwise cause people to be blind, or deaf, or lawyers. That is true, but at the same time you are saying that if you are blind or deaf, that you are less of a person and need to be fixed.

I don't have a problem with say, laser surgery. A person can choose for themselves whether they wish to go under the knife.

Genetic engineering where you toss out everyone who doesn't measure up? That's something else entirely. One is a therapy, the other eugenics.

I don't know if folks are aware that 95 percent of Down's syndrome babies are aborted. These are kids that have a full life ahead of them, even if they are disabled. Am I to think that it's merely a coincidence?

I know you and I don't see eye to eye on where the train is headed, but that's ok.
