I don't see it that way. Cancer and other degenerative diseases destroy citizens lives. Even if the source is within the body, it is still an attack on the body. I want the government to stop these cancer cells or other such bad genes from screwing up my body. Something does not have to be caused by a sentient human to threaten the safety and security of the citizens.
And I can't believe Penske really want to leave this to the marketplace. As I said the market place will eventually get to all of this stuff it will just take a lot longer. I don't want to be worm food when the discover the cure for Alzherimers.
