Able Young Burgers
The din of evil rings out from the Abili-Burger; there are too many things wrong with this idea, though I'm not sure why; I'm not an ethicist, apparently.
It has a great potential for abuse; imagine American soldiers fed on abili-MREs for strength enhancement, visual acuity or mental prowess. Who's to keep these soldiers from deciding that they're God, or some demigod, and then exacting their wishes on the world? And how do we combat them? With more super-Whoppers, and more mentally deranged men and women?
Worse still, what's to prevent Disadvantageaburgers, designed to lower the metabolism of the consumer and ruin the efficacy of his body? Is there a difference between a posion which kills you outright and a compound that turns your genes against you? Does it matter how the poison works, if it kills you in the end?
And worse still, why does it have to be a burger? Has McDonald's bought MacDonnell Hall? Has the Beef Industry got a steak in this (har har)?
This will never make it past the review boards. No chance in hell.

Oh, Post-Scriptum : I recieved one reply to my recent offer from a very kind woman to whom I owe much respect. I'm still thinking about everything she wrote to me, and I hope to reply to her (in private, you voyeurs) by the end of the week. Nobody else has taken me up on my offer, which saddens me. Some may say that they haven't got time to waste coddling some eugenisist college student, but they've obviously got the time to hunt down and frequent an obscure, unpopular blog; I don't see the difference in time commitment, but I do see the difference in emotional commitment.
