I return to
discreetly remind Shrike about his question.
And I give up trying to argue with CP, simply because my entire life people (not too dissimilar to CP) have turned everything I've ever said around, misrepresented it, and overall publicly shamed me (as you just saw). Therefore I admit my arguments are the work of a foolish jackass.
CP believes that sex will be replaced by cloning. I personally think that is the most nonsensical statement considering he has never experienced it, and probably has nightmares about falling in love with something other than a calculator.
I believe that there's going to be a medium somewhere that will maintain itself once genetic engineering reaches a state of maturity (not too dissimilar to the reengineering bits from Gattaca), but sex in and of itself will never die out simply because of the physical pleasure people experience whilst "getting it on" for lack of a better term.
So in the end, I'd suppose you'd mix Gattaca with Brave New World or (if things keep going as they are) Strange Days to get the 200-years-from-now society.
Militarily, clones with enough genetic variation to not be exact duplicates could be created with enhanced muscular strength, stamina, maybe limited telepathy thus making communications impossible to intercept except with said supersoldiers, and possibly be surgically fitted with a neuromechanical interface for vehicle control.
99% of that one way or another agrees with everything CP has said, but I really don't care anymore.
