"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Genetic engineering tosses ALL of that in the trash.
I think you've missed the point of that statement entirely. None of us are born physically equal. I'm 5'5". You're probably taller than I am. That is not equal.
But you and I were both born as equal Human Beings, with the inalienable Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. The point of that statement is exactly the opposite of what you suggest: We are all equal in spite of our differences.
Short, tall, black, white, perfect genes, flawed genes, none of that alters our equal and inalienable rights.
