Nick Bostrom had very strong ideas on the human race. Although at times I found it hard to follow, I was able to come to my own conclusions on many of the topics he brought up. I was taken a back when he spoke of the possibility scientifically controlling marriage outcomes. That is ridiculous. Number one , who would want that to be controlled by science. That ruins the romance, the love, and natural occurrences in life. That means that no matter how unsuited two people were for one another, if they got married, they would make it work no matter what. Some people are not meant to stay together. Yes, it may be a nice thought since I am a lover of lover, but it is so outrageous. So in that case, instead of wining and dining the couple can just go to the doctor together he will run a few tests and BOOM, together forever?
