im usually hugely agnostic but tbh i tend to want to become a annoying aitheist when i hear shit like this

If you allow us to do our thing you get a pass

And I'm out of this one...

that's fine, I just worry about making designer babies who won't have consent for their changes

lmao

did you have consent to be born

^

no you didnt

depends on what you believe

I'm out.

I think you did, but that's not provable with current science

Did you consent to fetal alcohol syndrome lmao

Technically you did

The egg accepted the sperm

i suppose that argument can be had but when its unfolded i think its constantly one that just holds decisions about science and tech back, same way leonardo da vinci had to hide his studies

But that is semantics really

you understand what I really mean, but still

You mean a soul?

a spirit, yes, but we're not here necessarily to discuss my personal religious beliefs' merit, just that I have them

Yes

As long as you allow us immoral degenates to do our genetic stuff you do whatever

My stance

what you want to do is up to you, I just think that it's one case where we have to defend those who can't defend themselves, same as abortion

bite tongue bite tongue bite tongue

Why tho

If yoy make a designer baby

You usually make it better

Like resistance to HIV

Faster, stronger.

Better immume

A new breed of humans

Homo mutalis

Sounds good

homosuperius?

(sounds like X men to me, and I don't want my kid growing up with that descrimination, but ok)

....

I'm kidding about that

If everyone is homo mutalis

No one would give a shit

See I think... to an extent... Genetic manipulation for children should be allowed freely, the ability to eliminate genetic diseases that can kill people...

No.
