Like I said in other posts a society that wipes out it's autistic people through abortion of autistic babies will stagnate their future culture, engineering, and sciences. They will deserve being over taken by the nations who do not abort their future autistic population. They will richly deserve what ever their conquring overlords will do to them. :twisted: I hope it makes slaves of that societies men and whores out of their women. :lol:

Well I am glad they don't have the techonology to do much with that, besides they are idiots if they think they can track it down to one gene.

Quote:

A set of gene variants that occur up to 20 percent more often in autistic children may be responsible for about 12 to 18 percent of cases of autism, according to a study published today in the journal Nature.

Gee I'm underwhelmed. This is barely a correlation.

Quote:

There's a possibility that we may be able to eventually do gene therapy to fix these variations that are causing autism. We may come to a point where we can diagnose the genetic defect before babies develop autism—which usually sets in around 2 to 3 years old—and then be able to administer therapy before those brain connections are disrupted. This, though, is years down the road, but at least it points the way to new research.

Out of this world speculation. I guess they want more funding for future studies.

So, can this be done practically--not a chance.
Can it be done ethically--hell no.
Why are they being funded again?

Well, it goes on to show two central "moral" values in our society:

-- Being different is wrong.
-- Destroying those who are different is right.

It also shows how people view autism:

-- It is a disease
-- People with autism are to be pitied

I guess people learned nothing from WWII. They're just more insidious these days

A fair few women are like that now so I think some of them would be quite willing.

There are many reasons to be bothered, we all know what humans are capable of, right now they're talking of the ethically incorrect idea of selecting children because of a few character traits that some people don't think should exist. What stops some crazy guy from deciding that it's not enough?

What this news-article implies is nothing short of genocide.

I really think that it is analogous to world war two. Why not eradicate the Jews? Why not eradicate autism? It doesn't matter that Marie curie might of had it. It doesn't matter that some professors have it. They're not "normal" and that's all that matters. Who sets these f***ING standards?

That's the irony isn't it, these technologies could not exist without the inventions by remarkable people, of whom more than a few had an ASD, only to see the wish for it being used for the extermination of those like them.

Most people don't even think about it, which makes the ones who do much more dangerous >.>
