Wow, some potential early shades of GATTACA, anyone?
now even genetics is p2w. where them gacha enjoyers at?
Good. Make people healthier. The critiques are asinine. “if less children have diabetes, those who have it will become more discriminated against”.
We did this with our kids and ruled out I think 190 genetical diseases they could potentially get and around 60 types of cancer.
One of our children would have an extremely high chance to get breast cancer so we “cut” it out of their gene line entirely.
Ofcourse they can still get x-cancer types from external sources.
Fun fact; this nowhere near guarantees a “perfect” child. It just means you won’t saddle your kids up with genetic shit they didn’t ask for which you knew beforehand could occur in them with a high probability.
If i swim far out in a lake to prove something, I am definitely putting a floaty in my underwear.
They should make AI enhanced GMO children too would be insanely complex but something to get dreamy about
