Is how baby formed?
If you could genetically edit your unborn child to have less risk of congenital diseases or cancer, why wouldn't you?

What's all the fuss about? Why wait till they are born and then treat the symptoms with prosthetics or drugs?

Why would you ask the Steam Forums?
That's my question.

Equality. If you remod humans you create classes. It won't be possible to claim anymore that all humans are humans.

ATGC is still ATGC

You're not introducing alien DNA or anything, you're just replacing the nucleotides. If AACA here causes cancer, and AAGA is the good variant, how does it hurt to switch it?


Imagine the odd things a drugged out teenager may want as their child, then think again if you want this.

I don't foresee these things being done on the corner desk.

Okay. What does that have to do with this thread?

There's no doubt that it would be beneficial for the child to be made immune to certain diseases with gene editing.

Others have mentioned the more principal issue though of how such procedures might to some degree create a scenario of class differences. Who would receive these treatments? Will it become mandatory for fetuses to be genetically modified; and if so, on what basis do we determine what is required and what is not, and who is making these decisions? What about those who aren't modified?
