i call this the 'tipper gore affect'. aka, 'you see what you want to see'

im kinda hopin we don't go down the full-on genetic editing path as they did in the movie.. maybe just hardcore embryo defect filtering for know diseases/errors

It’s not even the genetic editing that was the biggest issue, IMO. It was the pervasive surveillance and discrimination that was even worse.

  yep, good point. it would be nice to solve for those issues before theyre applicable to dna. humans still suck in a lot of ways

I don’t understand why people are so against this. Literally anyone whose relative died from a “rare” disease wouldn’t care if instead they were born in a time where it was prevented via genetic editing removing the offending genes.

Genes… Blood who cares? Total strangers from opposite sides of the globe can love eachother and two family members can kill eachother, it’s irrelevant.
