I was wondering about the intrest in synthetic biology and started looking into "transhumanism".The Wiki defintion:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism#Hubris_.28Playing_God_argument.29From the Hubris Argument:"As a practical matter, however, international protocols on human subject research may not present a legal obstacle to attempts by transhumanists and others to improve their offspring by germinal choice technology. According to legal scholar Kirsten Rabe Smolensky, existing laws would protect parents who choose to enhance their child's genome from future liability arising from adverse outcomes of the procedure.[96]"
