It became a notable and successful example of Human genetic engineering in which every individual was genetically tailored from birth to perform a specific role in society. Others, however, chose to establish isolated colonies, as became the case with the Genome colony on Moab IV, which was established in 2168. Symbols used to indicate presence of genetically engineered lifeform Though Soong himself gave up genetics to begin research in cybernetics, Captain Jonathan Archer expressed his hope to Soong that research into genetic engineering could cure life-threatening diseases would someday be resumed. His works were routinely taken and placed into storage (although his jailers often told him that his work was vaporized). Imprisoned for, among other crimes, stealing the embryos of a number of Augment children, Soong wrote long treatises on the subject of genetic augmentations and improvements. He argued that the source of the problem was not, in fact the technology, but Humanity's own inability to use it wisely. However, certain individuals, including geneticist Arik Soong, argued that it was simply convenient for Humanity to denounce the attempts at genetic "improvement" of Humanity, and that it was inherently evil because of the Eugenics Wars. A line from ENT: " Affliction" established the date of the technology being banned as "decades" before 2154.
