Question

3.) If the science was available to select the psychological characteristics of a child (for example, being able to chose personality characteristics and intellectual capabilities; or select a particular talent) through altering and combining genetic material before conception, would you elect to do this? Imagine being able to genetically engineer your child for selected characteristics that might give them an advantage in life! Discuss your answer.....

4.) Describe two different dreams that you can remember over the next weeks worth of sleep. Give as much detail as you can remember. If you were to interpret these dreams... what would you suspect they mean (e.g.; Freud's latent content)?

5.) How would you define "intelligence"? Do you think that it is important to define and measure intelligence? What is useful about measuring and comparing intelligence? For example, do you think that it is important for parents and schools to know how intelligent their child is in comparison with ot

Answer 1

1) We already do that. Any female will always look for the most handsome male available, the strongest, the one to father the best child.

And I know that in the future we will be able to identify DNA coding that will offer us the ability to select a healthy child by correcting broken DNA. I think that we would be a fool not to use the tools that become available. Why not have an intelligent child with the genetic materials to create a better life for themself and be of good service to mankind. Why would be WANT a child who could develop serious disease, or be of low intelligence, or live a miserable quality of life

2) Everywhere I went I saw cockroaches. Large human sized ones. I think I must have thought everyone I worked with were roaches/or had roach qualities.. yuck
I dreamed I was lost and every where was desolate, misty and I couldn't find anyone. There were no people at all. Everything had been destroyed, wasteland. I was afraid and hunting for someone/anyone. And I have no idea what it means, I'm normally a happy person and find the bright side of everything. Had some bad spicy food I guess.

3) Intelligence is ones ability to learn new things. I personally don't think it is important to measure intelligence, but our society does. I guess in school it could give the teaching staff an opportunity to see if the child does have the natural intelligence to process new or difficult information. In the Peter Principle everyone is promoted until they reach their level on incompetence. So when they reach their level of intelligence they cannot go futher.
And if two species come together ...the more intelligent one has to learn the language of the less intelligent one. My dog understand English but I do not understand Dog. Does that tell you something!
