Yeah. You know, if he's working that hard, maybe he could use a clone of himself. But look back to the ethical questions like the genetic counseling, which could arise as we enter this brave new world, that could turn easily into eugenics. And eugenics, in case anyone doesn't know, is an attempt to create a superior gene pool.

And it is widely condemned as racist, ableist and in violation of human rights. And if you needed any more evidence that it's a bad idea, the most famous champions of eugenics were, of course, the Nazis.

Right. And I don't know if this company is a sponsor, but I have to say my jaw was on the ground when I first saw a commercial for a company that has a product called Eugenics. Eugenics. So definitely eugenics. Bad. Don't even talk about it. So personalized medicine.

Look, as we head into this brave slash weird new world, personalized medicine could then eventually equal one quality of care for the rich and another one for the poor. You mean like health care is right now in America, basically? True. And here's a really scary one. How about biological weapons that target individuals? Whoa, that's sci-fi crazy talk. Is that actually possible?

That's actually, yeah, that's a real possibility. And the idea here is to use DNA to create weapons that exploit the genetic differences between ethnicities. Obviously, most weapons research is secret, but rest assured, DNA targeting as a weapon of war is something that's being developed.

In fact, tracing the old family tree through home genetic tests is so fun that it's a $3 billion a year industry.

Oh, yeah. I mean, that's what DNA does. It's uncovering family secrets. In fact, there's a really interesting story. There's an actress, Kerry Washington, and she tells this really heartwarming story of when she was asked to be on the show Finding Your Roots.
