I'm not buying this.
How is it immoral and why?



Probably because it puts existing humans at risk of becoming obsolete, or some thought along those line, I'm guessing.

I forgot to reply to this :grin:

I agree that things are easily over analyzed, and that people often project their feelings onto others; but if we put it all into context, this is the reality we all live -- this is the context by which we make all our assumptions and judgments.



Generally speaking, yes.
However, there are better or poorer guesses. That statement sounded to me like a gross over-generalization, because, as anyone who says things like "Aren't we all convinced that we are limited by our genes and thus will not even try to achieve anything that will go beyond our limits? "I can't help it that I'm stupid..  it's my genes!" are kind of just not knowing what they're talking about.
Of course, I might be wrong, but I think it is a wise decision not to make such firm statements as this one.

Quote:
I have met people who are genuinely insightful, and who have somehow stepped outside the box of preconception. Who have, for the moment, dissolved their personal bias.



Me too, but from meeting people who did that, to simply thinking that this is the case with this particular statement, is just a long ass way to go. :lol:

Quote:
I do agree that it is impossible to judge everyone, but i do think we can intuit a general observation of the whole, by looking at the cultural context the judged is enmeshed within.



I think that what we're noticing is still just a tiny bit of how all the people are actually thinking and feeling. From my own experience, I have rarely heard people making statements as these, regarding their DNA. I might have not looked for this kind of people though, which brings me back to the point that we usually see what we're looking for.

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

:bunnyhug: :yinyang2:
