Random but CRISPR babies are going to sweep the Olympics in 2040
China and Russia have to be fiddling with it at this point and it will either be completely undetectable or un-bannable in competition by then.
- timbit42 4y agoIt won't be undetectable. If the changes are something no one else on earth has, it will show up. If the changes are something other people have, it will still show up when comparing with their parent's DNA.
- midoridensha 4y agoWhat if the "changes" are simply optimizing someone's genetics? i.e., eliminating /fixing any genes that are bad mutations, so you get the best possible combination of genes from the parents? Or, suppose someone really does have a beneficial mutation that naturally occurred, and isn't the product of genetic engineering. Are you going to disqualify them because neither of their parents had the mutation?
