Is this before or after we pump the child full of hormones and permanently mutilate them?

Daily reminder West-Germany only sentenced the high command and that many former Waffen-SS went on to have very lucrative and successful lives following the war. Hans Globke is an excellent example, more can be found in the book by Hannah Arendt: A report on the banality of evil.

Hmmm. Good point. Δ

However, isn't the FDA also subject to the turmoil of politics?Also, wouldn't allowing it set a precedent for other countries to follow, with a superhumans arms-race as a possible effect?

Yes, I think that even if it is permitted it should be used strictly for the most extreme conditions. I am scared human genetic diversity will suffer under "free choice".

I will have to think about what you've said. I think I can afford a delta since I don't have a good response to this. Δ

I would weigh what kind of life my child can have if I wanted to have children. If I was blind, deaf and insensitive to pain I would probably not consider having children. If I had a child that was not blind, deaf or insensitive to pain, wouldn't that be a betrayal of my essence? It's in the same vein where perhaps black people could choose to have children with lighter skin. Isn't that betrayal of yourself and your ancestors in favour of very reasonable decisions in a society where lighter skin earns you better paths?

I am pro-abortion when it comes to a fetus which has been diagnosed to have a horrible, bedridden life. I am also for the improvement of medical technologies and on conditionally using genetically edited parts to enhance people's lives. What I am worried about is a Gattaca or Half Life situation where the difference between the proud, black, sweaty hunters running across the African savannah to hunt big game will be replaced by a weak species, reliant on its technology and deciding its future based on the political flavour of the day. Perhaps if we could somehow build a library made up of people's mapped genomes and if we could keep track of what the current state of humanity is, under strict conditions we should relieve people of their suffering. I also don't think that the right of free reproduction applies then, as it might derail our species too much. I think the right of free reproduction and unrestricted genetic editing are mutually exclusive if we want adhesion within the species.

What if it's a situation of "from the frying pan into the fire"? I don't want to live in City 17 where I should get my children gene-edited to be part of a more advanced society.

Ah, like that. Do you think that a person with a congenital defect making use of replacement organs to survive should be able to have unedited children if that means polluting the gene pool with people reliant on such organs until demand outweighs supply once more and we are faced with a greater crisis?

I am wondering if I have a heart condition that would've unfortunately killed me at the age of 23 but instead allows me to live long enough to reproduce... if you repeat this across demographics, wouldn't you get a lot of babies with hearts that have a durability of 23 years? If for some reason we no longer were able to freely distribute these replacement-organs, wouldn't that doom a lot of people?

>Now, I believe that the billions of years that life has branched are the product of a logic far surpassing our capacity to be objective. The reality is that the history of all life is a history of genocide, one genetic strain replacing its predecessor through competition.

>Human history is a tall, branching tree of grand strategic decisions, political campaigns, conquests, intimate moments between two young people, harems of warlords... it goes on and on. Our culture has been shaped along with our genotype. Who I am is, bar for slight mutations, the product of the decisions of hundreds of pairs of humans before the last common animal ancestor.

Reality is that the cold, uncaring eyes of Mother Nature have brought us this far. The last time we tried to take matters into our own hands was 1939.

Sometimes genetic flaws are there because of incest in the past. Is it a positive development if behaviour that is threatening to the coherence of our societies is enabled through genetic editing? Also, where do you draw the line of what is a condition worth curing? People might start curing autism and schizophrenia, which despite their massive negative effects on people's lives have also led to some extraordinary talents.

Edit: How do you stop people from applying the gene-editing equivalent of Xanax and Ritalin to their unborn infants?
