What do you think of dystopian societies?

I am assuming you want my personal opinion.

theyre quite terrifying to think about. Like the fall of humanity is scary. to think the offspring i have created or the people i have known have gone from decent people to incredibly corrupt. In "1984" by george orwell, the dystopian society he has created horrfies me. The idea that even your thoughts are monitered disrupts your self expression and how you interact with the world. To live in a world where you cannot do anything but basic busy work seems tactful. I bvelieve people should be happy and never fear a hugher authority or a "system". Dystopian societies are exciting to read about but to really think deeply and complexly about them is horrifying.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."

sex cells are usually half's then they find another half and make a fertilize egg
