If a person's criticism is of "ethics" in general, that individual should not be allowed in a position of authority or trust. If you have a specific constraint for which you can make a case that it goes too far and hinders responsible science and growth (and would have repeatable, reliable results), then state the specific point clearly and the arguments in your favor.

So if we put these extra pair of legs on babies then they can stand in more extreme angles making them better at construction at a time when there is a housing shortage

I am convinced, I vote to allow it.

I am in agreement, but a point of contention: only ONE extra pair of legs? Or is this negotiable?

Splice with spider genes? I'll allow that, too.

On a completely unrelated note I just bought a new Porche and condo.

If we're going along with all you liberal scientists, it seems only fair that the child should be extra circumcised to keep things fair?
