- Religious fanaticism will increase. More people will be inclined to say that science is all about 'playing God'.
That's scary... And not just the "evil towel heads" as the Islamic religion has come to be known by the religious fanatics in this country...

- Maybe stem cells will enhance the human physiology, and use them to bad ends.. Probably too sci-fi.
Yea, probably too sci-fi... But all too often Science Fiction has become Science Fact... So who knows...

- Humans will live longer. This might seem like a good thing, but it will get pretty crowded. And where do we get the food from?
If we can make it to a Type 1 civilization, this won't be much of a problem...

- Humans will live healthier, so humanity will be more productive. Previously disabled people can work so less people have to look after them.
- The enhancements can be used for good. (yes, it's the sci fi approach again)
Both are good.
So in conclusion, only negative thing really is that it will give fuel to the religious extremists, of every religion... Though, they would find something to be pissed about anyway... So nothing new there...
thats what im pointing out, he keeps saying there are these 'negative' consequences, but has yet to present one.
the conservative and the religious throwing a riot? whats to fear?
I believe that the "negative" consequences that everyone seems to be throwing around is that either A) we are doing the Christian god's work or that we can clone Hitler or an entire army. Neither of which has much, if any, scientific standing.
At least, that's what I see from there side. All I see personally are good things coming from this...
