Stupidity should be cured, says DNA discoverer - New Scientist
Topic: Science 6:49 pm EST, Mar  2, 2003

Fifty years to the day from the discovery of the structure of DNA, one of its co-discoverers has caused a storm by suggesting that stupidity is a genetic disease that should be cured.

Watson of "Watson and Crick" provides undeniable proof that intelligence cannot be measured on a single graduated scale.

[wow....well, for one, Watson always likes to stir things up. And he definitly will succeed with this statement. To assume that low IQ is a disease that can be cured is a bit wacky though. If people started to believe that, they would never try to learn something new, and they could goof off in school, because whats the point when their IQ is "out of their control". It is pretty amusing that he said this though...I tend to think that he is just kind of joking around, especially since he added the statement about genetically engineering all girls to be pretty. In rebuttle, Watson, what about making all the guys hot, huh?!?:) - Nano]
