exactly. i said in my earlier comments that this is a confusing issue, but at the end of it all there is the operating table.

no way. no how. the rest of the argument is mute.

How is it moot? This issue is going to be important in the future and like genetic research shouldn't there be some dialog about it before it becomes a pressing issue instead of an imminent one?

what happens when the inevitable death as a result of surgical error occurs?

Good question. Who gets sued? The doctor, the gov't, both?

perhaps incentivizing non reproduction could work if someone smarter than us figured out how to do it effectively. maybe....MAYBE penalizing people financially for abusing the foster care system through increased taxes could work.

Incentivizing won't do anything because that would require some effort on the part of the parent to be.

I can only really see penalizing people having any affect.
