What does "subsidizing reproduction" entail, exactly?
- Andre_Wanglin 8y agoI was having some fun employing a different definition in my reply. Think natalist policies geared toward the successful.

Then you can test multiple embryos and analyze which one’s going to be the smartest. That kid would belong to that couple as if they had it naturally, but it would be the smartest a couple would be able to produce if they had 100 kids. It’s not genetic engineering or adding new genes, it’s the genes that couples already have.
