>You won't be able to prevent the wealthy from modifying their offspring anyway and the unfairness of having them do it vs 99% not being able to afford do is not enough of a reason to stop progress, not even close.
How is that not enough of a reason? The argument is the government has to step in and make it routine from the start. The alternative is to allow the wealthy to literally write superiority into their genes.
- farresito 10y agoWell, we are not going to be able to stop that. Money rules the world. Furthermore, these technologies will appear, regardless of whether we want or not, be it legal or not, so why not do it from the start the right way, so that everyone can benefit from it? Reminds me of the age-reversing debate. It's going to happen, so we might as well bring it as soon as possible instead of letting people die.
