I think we already have meddled with evolution so much we've drastically affected it. Might as well direct in ourselves now

Good point Jacob

Gene-editing our kids to have brutally unyielding in-group preference <:usinnoodle:420778112226164736>

@Jacob not sure about that. What if gene editing leads to long term consequences like the lack of fertility

Ah yes gene editing

What could possibly go wrong

We cant really adapt to anything but modern civilization anymore so we might end up needing to do it anyway

@MrDefault <:really:453005408064241674>

Edit genes enough, you're no longer white but some new race

gene-editing + advances in AI = bad time for humans

eventually we'll build our replacements

@missliterallywho hot take I don't care

No

Right, but the end result may not even be man, is my point @Kingfish - but some aberration build upon the husk of what man was. We may end up creating a new "Race" or subspecies, that may not look kindly on us as their intellectual and physical lessers.

I for one will welcome our new super human replicant overlords

There's some things I just don't think man was meant to tamper with. It's like playing God. Could backfire hard

@Goose ...or our replacements will "build" us <:nervous:359009898115104770>

Gene edit till we become food from sausage party

Lmao I'd love to see designer babies all be sterile

If my line is healthier, Stabler, more successful line than before I don't care if I'm evropan

> Be Chinese gene editing company
> Have different gene options/packages available, ranging from mitigating health issues to choosing race
> Provide lowkey incentives for parents who choose nonwhite children
> Profit from special interest groups subsidizing such business behavior

I don't trust governments to actually regulate this responsibly.

If we secure our future and use these technologies to our advantage it wont matter

one major concern are backdoor flaws in the "design" of said engineered human

I want gene editing so we can end the manlet health crisis

It’s not like completely foreign genes are being added, just making the top ten percent more like the top 80 percent

@TylerHess Pretty naive to think this tech would aid in equity.

That can be done with breeding incentives

@ChippedStones Yeah, but then, where will we draw our leadership from? <:nervous:359009898115104770>

I see the opposite happening.

If you're secure in your genes you don't need to edit your children <:4dchess:439923932062154782>

>implying the Emperor of Man isn’t already behind the development of this tech

I dont see a point to gene editing.

@Bjorn - MD one word, prosthetics

@missliterallywho children can still be born with freak diseases

has everyone forgotten that half the fun of having a baby is making it yourself?

Michael Phelps is European, his genes are European, if we change one of our people’s genes to a select few of Phelps genes, they’re still European.

Can we gene edit animals so we can create monsters to take us back to the Stone Age then arise 100 years later in a Pokemon world

This is why we gene edit right?

**Transhumanism is a Jewish trick**

End this nonsense

Gene editing sounds like another case of pathological egotism
