The push towards genetics and genetic manipulation has been intensifying for decades, but it is not a new idea. Plato talked about specific breeding programs in his dialogue, "The Republic", 2,300 years ago and the ruling elite, the 'natural aristocracy' have been selectively breeding for thousands of years to continue their bloodlines of psychopaths. Phrenology as a means to predict behavior has been replaced by MRI brain scans. The term 'eugenics', having been tainted by Hilter's exploits, has been changed to 'transhumanism', but the goal of both is the same: the complete alteration of the 'old' human into the 'new' one. But such glorious advancements are not meant to help us, but rather to make us into more obedient slaves, who cannot possibly revolt against their masters ever again.
