Why would it remain affordable to them only? Economies of scale apply even if just the productivity learning curve. Doing the cost/benefit analysis it may make sense for a government to subsidize or outright provide it for free.
It is downright bizzare that people worry about the non-trivial and highly useful applications. What happened to bitching about the spending on baldness cures and penis pill research?
- benreesman 4y agoFar better writers than me have done all manner of speculative fiction on this, but the main thrust of it all is that as bad as our racism problem is now, and that’s very bad, it’s an appetizer for the main course that will come from speciating the human race on the basis of both meaningful and measurable genetic “superiority”. That would be scary enough if the whole world voted on every little thing, but if Elizabeth Holmes is doing it under the Uber “It’ll become legal if we do enough of it” model? Yeah that fucking terrifying.

Is it so outlandish to think that, in a country where education is so expensive it takes the average college student 20 years to pay off their debt; and medical costs are the cause of more than 60% of bankruptcies; a procedure that combined the two might be expensive?
