Dilemma 5/4/09

You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?

1. A "violent" gene is discovered, and people who have it are isolated from society at birth.
2. A "genius" gene is discovered, and only people who have it can get advanced schooling.

Hrm. I'll prevent #2 b/c education can be found and genius expressed in other ways.

I'll prevent #1. I think the isolating of people (who may or may not actually be violent) from society for their entire lives is more egregious.
