There is no invention on the horizon that will counterweight gravity, as opposed to genetic engineering.I think it's fair to say that procreation will not determine our genetic future, but the choices of genes that the people of the next few generations will make. And people's vanity may compel them to perpetuate their own genes, but given the opportunity people always choose the best possible genes for their kids (i.e. choose healthy sperm donors with generally considered "higher genes" - i.e. Danes).
The OP describes a system where darwinism is used to determine how to punish people. i.e. darwinism is the source of law. That's not happening.
- philwelch 7y agoI don’t know or believe that genetic engineering is anywhere close to ready for those kinds of purposes any more than waterproof materials are ready for house builders to stop worrying about drainage and other basic principles of water damage. And we’re a hell of a lot farther along in terms of waterproof materials! In fact I think it’s slightly more likely that you’ve been suckered into a scam perpetrated by Danish men for reasons that are plainly obvious from a Darwinist perspective ;) Seems like more of a crackpot Nordic eugenic superman theory to me.
- buboard 7y agoembryo selection is already a thing today, and there are already crispr'd humans. Considering the pace of genetic research it's not unreasonable to expect that genetic selection of traits will be available within 20-50 years. Whatever scam the danism men are running , it's working https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a6134/danish-sperm-donors/ https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a6134/danish-sperm-donor...
- philwelch 7y agoThere are roughly two Crispr’d humans and the scientist responsible has been under house arrest in China ever since. I’m not interested in your Nordic eugenic superman nonsense.
