- int_19h 10y agoNo, but I don't see the "designer baby" tech as something that radically changes the nature of the problem (which already exists, and has existed for a long time), either. Basically, insofar as status quo is tolerable, this doesn't move the needle enough to care. The other thing is, coming from a "well, something must be done about it" perspective, fixing these aspects of human society strikes me as the least intrusive and harmful side-effect-free approach, compared to all the other alternatives (which are mostly about tightly regulating the tech and its use). Heavy handed regulation, in particular, will just produce a black market with no regulation at all, which is likely to result in more problems in the end.
