Gathering / Conference
The Debate on Genetically Modified Soldiers was brought into full question with the proposed Spartans program (no im not ripping off Halo). This debate sparked a scientific firestorm as scientists and philosophers debated the idea, and some rushed to perfect it. The result was a soldier finely tuned for war, and the beginning of the end of conscription.
The push for Genetic Modification was led by Arnesh Love, a biochemist who proposed along with other controvertial scientists, a program to create a supersoldier. However, philisophical and public resistance to the program led to a full scale internal debate. The debate ended soon enough for the Spartans Program to have a major impact on the war.
