Thread: Is inheritance evil?

Say some dude has inherited a great mind from his parents and a huge pecker, and then we have this other poor dude who has inherited a low IQ from his parents and a small pecker, and perhaps some acne to go with it. Is that right? Isn't that evil?

No it's not. Whilst it's true that intellect and other biological can be classified as hereditory (if you do remember the old joke of a genetic scientist attempting to sell different physical features of celebrities) there is a great deal of conditioning involved when a personality is developed. Ideally, fostering still remains a vital ingredient of a great mind.

So ideally put, behind a great mind there are lots of factors, including the person himself but genetics does play a part.

I think the more important question is should we be balancing out the scales of hereditary, since we have developed the means to correct genetic "imperfections".

Why start a new thread?
