Should Olympians encouraged to reproduce?

Question

instead of experimenting on mice tails and cloned sheep?

or finding life on mars?

Answer 1

I pick Dara Torres and Lolo Jones.

Sure, why not..strong, fit, fast, good under pressure...

Answer 2

There are a couple of troubling issues in your questions.  "Experimenting" on mice and cloned sheep have led to great medical advances in cancer cures and regeneration of tissue.  Life on Mars may be needed when we have polluted the earth so much that we need another comparable planet.  All of this, while a little facetious, is meant to say that research should not be second to "encouraging Olympians to reproduce" - what for?  To create the perfect "synchronized swimmer"?  Wow, a real contribution to society there....

Trying to manipulate a perfect society is a dangerous road.  Who knows if we go down that path that sports may be considered irrelevant when the meek inherit the earth.

Answer 3

You have to be careful with anything other than the natural course of human events in such areas...after all, Hitler had the same idea when he started on his "pure Arian society"...and look where that got him.  Would you really want to head down that road to produce a super badminton player?

Humans are not lab rats, as a rule, we do not like to be manipulated. Couple this with the fact that the Olympics are not a "thoroughbred" type sporting event. Most people would resent being bred like horses, dogs, or cats.

Answer 4

makes sense.

Darwinian natural selection at work in its best.

if msolem and some asian countries populate by billions, it doesn't hurt to have some of them by hundreds(?).

Answer 5

sure, sounds good to me.
