You're right, they chose this. Fine. And I don't agree with it, fine.

But I can guarantee they will somehow hurt someone in the future. No idea how, but I'm sure we'll hear of it in a few years, maybe not until 20 years from now...but somehow, they will hurt someone (and I don't necessarily mean one person).

And if we didn't play the what if game, we might actually be further technology wise, medically especially, since we play the what ifs with stem cells: "But what if they are really a life immediately at conception and we kill them to do stem cell research?" What ifs are how we make decisions as a society. We have to ask them in order to figure out what we deem the "right" decision to be in nearly every decision we make.
