Evolution takes time. We'll get there eventually if we don't kill ourselves off first. I'm increasingly thinking genetic engineering might not be so bad after all. Between our swiftly changing diet, lifestyle, and environment we may not have the luxury of doing things the traditional way. If we were able to do things like make sure our next generation was born with the ability to filter PFAS and microplastics from their blood they could at least drink the water on our planet without poisoning themselves.

>I'm increasingly thinking genetic engineering might not be so bad after all. Until you genetically engineer all humans to waste calories, crops start failing due to climate change and soil depletion, and humanity dies because of this. Efficiency might not be good now, but looking at the longer timeline, I don't think we should reasonably assume that the abundance will last. Actually with how things are going right now, I would assume abundance to end in my lifetime.
