In my opinion, all the technology we have and the advances in medical science to date will mean that evolution will now affect the human race adversely as natural selection has all but been eliminated in the case of humanity. Junk DNA that would caused harmful mutations is now not being selected out and is proliferating.......
For example I myself am quite badly short sighted.....

Therefore, given your condition and your view of the adverse effect of technology and medical science, I trust you have never contributed nor plan to contribute to the gene pool.

I plan too. I don't care about "contaminating" the gene pool... |
I have quite good vision. Maybe I'll contribute a few times, and set humankind on their way to super vision!   |
I'm content on being a non-reproducing recipient? Just for fun, no other reason. :wink: |
I won't object to trying. It's succeeding that's the difficult part...! :wink:
