James Watson and Eugenics

James Watson of DNA spiral fame.................having borrowed the final piece of his jigsaw from Maurice Wilkins who borrowed it from Rosalind Franklin has now started to create his work around the theory of Eugenics. Initially I thought good this is all his own work and something he can be proud of without anyone else passing judgement. Thats was until I heard ........ he considers certain types of people to be stupid and would want to change their genes so they had no need to be so stupid... if you are stupid that is a disease and genetic enhancement would be of benefit. The prevention of the birth of ugly girls (no mention of boys.........hmmmm).....he asks who wouldn't want that? Perhaps we should ask him who the stupid boys were that got the ugly girls pregnant in the first place. Perhaps there is a theme here. x

May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy New Year with three at its centre.........a time for some new ideas around genetics and IT.........lets hope they come from a rational humanistic base. I believe in DNA and genetics and its ability to help human life in the moment and in the future if you can give your DNA to a Biobank then please do so, you will be helping humanity long into the future. Never allow your thoughts to take you down the wrong path or all the hard work and effort you have put into those thoughts will be lost. The right path fades as you get deeper and deeper into 'the wrong place'. Science does NOT have to go down the wrong path even if it seems enticing you are being led astray and the good you could have brought to the world will be lost. Stay alert and enjoy your life starting with 2015. x
