Were term limits abolished in Iran at some point between '09 and '13 or did the American forces kill former president Ahmadinejad for some reason?

Ahmadinejad abolished term limits in a Chavez like way

It's probably a common misconception (especially after recent protests were put down) that Ahmadinejad has something like absolute power in Iran. Only a few weeks ago he was pressured to fire the man he wanted to become vice president. Ahmadinejad has only as much power as the Supreme Leader grants him. And even the current Supreme Leader served only two terms when he was president in the 1980ies.

Yeah, genetic "improvement" of humans would be a more controversial topic. For instance, how ethical is it to let you grow a third arm? Or gills in addition to lungs? And then there's the "Gattaca" problem: Parents who can afford it make their children mentally and physically stronger and children of parents who can't afford it are falling behind.
