Why not modify GMO human fetus to have great night vision and what not?

We could pay Africans to let us modify their developing offspring.

It's not like they as a people would care,when they have no problem with Blacks consuming Albino flesh for voodooism...

Why not modify OP's thread to be deleted and not here?

We could report to mods to let us have a nice board.

And what you said about voodooism is just buttocks.

Don't be asspained.

Really, would there be an issue with modifying humans? Perhaps biological?

I stated Africa,inorder to put aside Ethics

Just because it's in Africa doesn't mean ethical considerations don't exist. And the fact that there are people that think like that demonstrates why we should put off modifying humans.

Here in the west there's so much you can't do due to people's feelings.

I mean why not modify people so there's a less of a chance they would get heart disease,or modify fetus that they can't get cancer ?

We use DNA from fish on our vegetables we grow.

Is it ethics that's preventing us from doing such things,or is it biological?

Alot of people don't like stem cell research,even though we reached the point we don't need to harvest cells from fetuses.
