That's really cool, but it's a shame that religious organizations are going to oppose it. In fact I think it's illegal in America to let the embryo develop into a full human. That's unfortunate because we could eventually cure many illnesses and deformities if this was allowed to progress. I guess some other country will beat us to that.

It's in our best interests to continue leading the free world in all matters. Getting passed up by China or some other country would be bad.
This is like eugenics but worse

Why, exactly, is "designer babies" a bad thing?

iirc, lack of genetic diversity if we all start selecting "traits for intelligence" if we can even do that at all

like it will f*** over our gene pool

If you can select traits, every rich person will have blonde hair, blue eyes, big muscles or an hourglass figure, etc.

And everyone else will just be regular people

In other words there will be physically different classes of human beings

Depend if someone can bring the technology cheao. CRISPR itself is cheao enough to see the implementation in school labs. 

Now if some greedy piece of s*** company decided to monopolyze this and take 100% control , the nightmare will happen

Thanks for the peeps that made the pics <3 if i make typos it means i am on phone
Even if the technology is affordable to everyone, then everyone will look the same instead of only rich people... not much better

Or at least most people will look the same and there will be different trends. Like right about now there would be a lot of Kim Kardashian lookalikes. Or maybe cat ears would be a trend

Ya'll are thinking about stupid s*** like physical attractiveness and I'm wondering if we can splice humans with animal DNA such as ants or cheetahs to make them super powered.

Dunno.

There's a legit problem if in the future, rich people can go out, and purchase genetically perfect babies with immense strength, low risk of disease, and genius level intellects. I'm all for erasing dangerous diseases and other such ailments, but I am definitely against the designer baby market. Choosing the hair color, height, strength, intelligence, all of it.

Why though?

Because imagine trying to compete in a job market dominated by the genetically perfect children of rich families who then relegate the working class to minimum wage jobs, or being far in the future, unemployment.

lmao applying today's job market to a future with mainstream designer babies. Machines/AI is going to take your job before a designer baby.

So you're saying that a class of effortlessly genetically superior people is totally cool? Watch the movie Gattaca. It's not predicting the future, but I fail to see how anyone could want to rush forward into genetic modification after seeing the film unless they were clueless.
