There is one mysterious place on Earth, what is called the "Bohemian cave", and there are theories about secretive rituals and even satanism what is claimed to be the purpose of this place. The secrecy around that place is feeding theories about the purpose of that area, and one of them is the eugenics. When we are thinking about the "pure line" increasing of some quality. The use of the "pure lines" is very common with the racehorses, and that is a very unpopular thing when we are thinking the human beings. The making super-individuals is a very delicate thing in the world of science, and this is very much against religion.
But if the purpose is to use the enriching genome material there would be two or more groups of individuals, and when we are planning to drive those lines together and create the super individual, we must say, that there would be many social problems with that kind of creatures. So where would you hide this kind of individual, if you would get that thing? There are two ways to hide those persons. One is in the middle of the middle of the sibling series. In that case, that individual would not be the eldest or youngest child.
That protects the child from envy, what comes from siblings. Other is deliver that individual to the children's home. But when we are thinking about the evolution, we must create super humans or super individuals in a very short period. In this case, would there create the fetuses by using in vitro fertilizing. And that would mean also simply connecting the DNA:s of those persons in the laboratory.
This allows making evolution very fast because the nanotechnology can cut the DNA and connect the other genomes to that genetic code. When the maker of this thing is satisfied, would this maker of the test just take one blastula, and suck the DNA away from the nucleus, and then replace that thing by the synthetic DNA. This thing can increase the speed of the evolution very effective way.
Increasing of the evolution is very interesting and horrifying thing, what would bring many things to our mind. In this kind of cases, we must say, that the science itself has no moral. We the people are defining, what is legal and morals. And this is a very problematic thing in the world of science. There is, of course, orders what people should do in the scientific experiments. But we know, that there are no orders about genomes. The proof about the genetic experiments is very difficult to get, and this is one of the greatest problems in legislation.
But there is another very big question about the cloning. What will the authorities do, if somebody has made the human clone? The answer would not be so simple as we are thinking. If we are thinking that we would destroy that creature after the birth would make us the Nazis. And here we must remember a thing about science. We are responsible for our actions, what is the thing, what the scientists should think. There are many opportunities in the field of biotechnology and genetics. And there are also many fears about this kind of things. The moral and ethical questions about the genetics are very complicated things. And we must understand, that we must think consequences before, we are doing something.
The modern laboratories have capacities, what we probably don't even realize. The nanotechnology allows us to create synthetic DNA, and also connect it to any sequence of the genomes. It allows us to create new intelligent species. And this is the biggest threats in history. But genome-technology is also the greatest thing in the history of mankind. We can create a new body for ourselves and transfer our memories to that body, and this thing opens new visions in the good and bad.
This is the question about science. In the medieval period, the surgery was prohibited, because patients died in that operation, but in the modern era, the surgery is the normal procedure, or do you know anybody, who died because of typhlitis, but removing this body part was very dangerous operation in the medieval period. This is the thing in science and technology. The advantage in technology and science gives us more opportunities but the same things cause new threats. This is the thing, what we must realize when we are creating new things and ideas. Every new thing has two sides, and none of the new inventions is purely good or evil.
