I don’t disagree with any of this. But if someone commit crimes against humanity in the name of eugenics, even if by accident, the fact that the blind, amoral god’s actions are even worse is in no way exculpatory. In other words, he can get away with it, you can’t.
That seems to suggests we should play it safe and avoid eugenics. But doing nothing rather than something may well be much worse than what the blind idiot God does.
No, I think gene manipulation can be the right thing to do but that we should face harsh legal consequences if we cause harm by doing it with anything less than extreme levels of care and caution (I think the idiot god should be put on trial frequently as well, but he is sadly hard to handcuff).
