I had this same theory for the removal of AIDS, just let everyone fuck for about 5-10 generations and eventually everyone has AIDS, then somewhere down the line their children will have natural immunity and once all of the non-immune die, the human race won't have that particular problem anymore.
By the time you'd see meaningful genetic results people will already live on Mars anyway...
On Mars we can produce as much greenhouse gasses as we want whilst stripping it's resources, and it would actually create the same climate as on earth in say 4 decades. No need for eskimoes.
Speaking of witch, Inuit already lived on the ice for countless generations. Care to train them as astronauts? Too bad the not so cold resilient people will have to stay behind and not die in outerspace... Oh, wait.

Boy that doesn't sound at all like eugenics... Actually, now that I think about it, didn't someone try using forced genetics to create the perfect race once before? I could've sworn someone had. Anyone besides me remember how it worked out in the end?
Yeh, I herd that if u giv evry1 cancers then they al become immune or somthing. Cos instead of dieing a horible death ther kids get immunities and they pass it on to ther kids.Booze Zombie said:
Or just wait for medical science to come along with a much less lethal method of curing the disease.
I hate this kind of thread, people talking about a very complicated thing as if they know all the little details of it.
And here I thought this would be an intelligent thread about situations requiring evolution or termination. Damn :/
Evolution isn't necessarily over millions of years, but making humans that are 'cold resistant' wouldn't do much good--we have things called space heaters, sweaters, slippers, and, most importantly, fire. Yeah, you remember fire, right? That thing we discovered a few thousand years back, and have been comfortably using ever since? Yeeeeeeaahhh...And cold resistance in humans means a layer of fat, just like everything in nature that has to deal with extreme cold. Plants, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish, birds, and dinosaurs. If they live in the cold, they have a layer of fat.

That's not genetic modification, it's physical adaptation.JoshFTL said:

You really don't.... Get genetics, do you?
Training in a cold weather environment can help to raise cold resistance for an individual, but that trait wouldn't be passed on to his or her children simply because they trained in the cold. Learned or trained physical characteristics aren't passed on. The only way to make this function would be to find those who were most resistant to the cold (so, either pure survivalism/only the strongest survive, or put them through a series of tests) and only let the most resistant breed.
You can't breed characteristics in or out of a population without controlling who gets to have babies

It would solve our overpopulation problem and potentially cure AIDS, a theory I back-up with a group of prostitutes found in Africa who were AIDS immune, oddly enough.Grand_Pamplemousse said:
Also, cancer is a cell error, how would you pass that on to a child?
I did believe that if cancer occours in most organisms, strillity is caused so as to stop it spreading.
Your "sarcasm" isn't very good, by the way.
We don't need to grow a layer a thick fur, or have smaller ears to keep in the heat. We adapt our environment to ourselves by lighting fires, making clothes and building houses and such.BehattedWanderer said:
Your quite right good sir.
If we killed all the people who suggested these kind of things were killed, that would be a form of evolution.
And how exactly would that make you any better than them?Hot said:
Oh wait, you'd be just the same and would have to die, too.
