That is why we should alter the genes to genengineer a perfect slave or
perfect human cattle just as farmers breed animals but we'd be doing it the
quickie genengineered way and this would enable you to tell the difference
between a normal human and a genengineered drone.

Again, if you rip out the genes for higher intelligence you won't have this
problem.
