Religion and ethics has nothing to do with the debate on personal enhancements. Its not a democratic decision, its a personal choice. I do not consider it a legitimate function of government to tell me what I can or cannot do woith my body and life, providing i do not use my enhancements to violate the liberties of other people.

I don't believe in any religion what so ever. Therefor, religion has no business telling me whether or not I can enhance myself. It is purely a civil liberties issue. My life and body aremy private property.

The comnpetitive free-market is the only mechanism that is consistant with the notion that one's body and life is one's private property. Any other approach or mechanism is therefor immoral, in and of itself.
