>Where is the line between "gene therapy" to eliminate differences (such as deafness) and eugenics? If we have statistics that taller people have better outcomes in life, should we do gene therapy to make sure everyone is taller than 6'?
There may be benefits of being 6' over 5' but I dont think that's comparable to deafness.
6' vs 5' is the difference between great hearing and good hearing.
The deafness we are talking about is the difference between having legs and not having legs.
