> But this information could just as easily be used to identify children with the least genetic potential for academic success and channel them into the best schools. This would probably create a more equal society than the one we have, and it would do so by identifying those who are likely to face learning challenges and provide them with the support they might need.
Sounds like Harrison Bergeron to me: why not invest those resources into the best minds, who can increase the standard of living for all mankind, rather than investing them only to raise folks to average?
Of course, in reality one would invest a little here and a little there, but it is a zero-sum game: every resource used to help the unintelligent succeed is a resource not expended to help the intelligent exceed.
