    This is a horrendous slippery slope. I'm horrified that there is no more organized effort at medical ethics. With the treatments newly available, and the ones being developed, the question of ethics will loom larger than ever before in our history. Remember the tragedy of eugenics or lobotomy and see what science without ethical guidance can lead to.
