> Isn't restricting people from reproducing based on their genetic material known as Eugenics? We really need to stop being afraid of words. We don't have to use a neutral word to imply a whole range of ancillary things which we don't name. There's nothing wrong, in principle, with eugenics. (Some bad guys many years ago were really into it for a specific use case, but so what?) While humanity is in the learning phase of gene editing: - High-trust societies can choose to say: "You can get whatever gene mods you want but you will be sterilized." - In freedom societies you could simply ask your partner what modifications she has before you conceive kids with her. Screening and embryo selection would probably be available in such a world and individuals would make their choices.
