If eugenics is a possibility, it'll come from Asian nations. Europe is too egalitarian, and America is too religious. Asians don't give a flying fvck about moral values, they just wanna rule the roost. This is one reason, IMHO, that the decadent West(not my own words) will lose to Asian nations like Japan and China in the long haul. So before sh1t hits the ceiling, America and Europe will need to wise up, get their acts straight, and ditch religion as well as political correctness, both of which are anti-progress, that MIGHT hurt innovation. Instead of putting the pedal to metal with respect to stem cell research and going full speed ahead, BushCo. with his obstinate streak, has managed to bring progress to a complete hault in this regard. Now supposedly 30% of Americans identify themselves as evangelicals, among which 70% favored Bush over Kerry. So it's obvious that they're a powerful force in American politics to be reckoned with. As regards to cloning humans, reaching that goal will take a long time. In the United States, if I am correct, human cloning research has been banned. Same in many Western nations. I don't know how it is in Asian nations though, but I bet my bottom dollar that they'll be the vangards in cloning research.
