And by the way, every sperm has "potential." Human will is what dictates whether it has potential anymore. It is human will that destroys its potential through abstinence, just as it is human will that destroys an embryo's potential through abortion.

no, didn't read the essay. But I did want to make a reply on the thought.
I don't much like the idea that this technology is worse than old technology simply because the money on this technology could be used to help starving people. The money required to make automobiles could have been used to help needy people. Also, automobiles are among the most expensive items that even average people buy, and wealthy people overbuy. As well, they pollute.
Making a "perfect human" is something good by nature. It makes a healthy person that won't starve or have problems that will end up needing more resources to fix. Also, it helps mankind as a whole by adding more intelligence and potential to the race.
I agree. Rich people waste money on things rather than helping people. Giving another thing for them to buy doesn't change their ideals, it's true. But, that measn there is no harm in it. And, rather than wasting money on a perfect child, the rich person could have been more destructive... like buying a bunch of drugs, or weapons, or something else. Either way, not buying the child wouldn't make the person any more likely to donate money.

He knew when he made us that he wasnt making a perfect creature. He knew the abortion was going to occure, but he didnt make you do it, and he didnt cause the pregnancy in the first place, he just KNEW it was going to happen.
And yes, of course the sperms potential is destroyed through abstinence, which is just one more point a human life isnt considered "human" until AFTER the egg and sperm combine. God isnt up there accusing me of murder every second I'm not fertalizing a girl.
Ok, cars are not that expensive. You can get them for dirt cheap at an auctioni. I think I saw one sell for like 200 dollars once. It wouldnt be the best vehicle ever, but hey, it has wheels and it moves. Anyone with a job can get a car. Maybe not a good one, but I never said that.
Henry Ford was one of the first people to make a cool new product but also to pay his customers enough to buy it.
Also, I DONT think MAKING perfect human is good.
And yes, there is harm in what you mentioned. If scientist are more worried about making these cool new genetic enhancement technologies, then thats what they will make, so that they can get more money, instead of focusing on making cures for diseases.
I wasnt asking for the rich people to donate money, I'm asking for scientist to create technology that helps everyone, both the rich and the poor.
