  The other issue I have is that this is an example of a recurring issue in which the tech obsessed ultra wealthy declare their plan to solve a problem for which a very straightforward policy solution already exists.

  We don’t need tech to extend lives or feed the hungry. We just need to remove the paywalls to existing resources.

    Free nutritious food
    Regulating toxic chemicals
    Prenatal education and healthcare

      None of that will deal with an inherited genetic disorder

        I think nutrition has a bigger effect than genetic variability
