Doesn't anybody get it? The "balance to the force" thing was an obvious clue. All those wise Jedi Masters on the council didn't get the very clear meaning of "balance". Consider this:
Start of Episode One: the Force is used by dozens of good jedi. Good far outweighs evil.
End Episode Three: The Evil Sith kill the excess of good Jedi until there's just as many bad force-users as good.
Thus Anakin kills off the glut of goodies and the Force is now "balanced" between Dark and Light.
Moral of the Story: Try to understand your goal before you seek to accomplish it.
If there's one thing scientific advancements have proven, it's that scientists just like everyone else, are a bit arrogant.
We stuff around with genetics the way toddlers play with daddy's guns: we don't know what the hell we're doing. Some are foolish enough to think they understand it, but humans are hardly beginning to understand the simplest of aspects of biology.
Let's just be a bit sensible about this stuff. Think about the issues involved. Get the benefits without problems that outweigh them.

Shadowrun, Shadowrun, Shadowrun !!! Easily the best MMOG universe. Was the Genesis version actually better? in what way?
