🧵 Chinese Genetic Engineer Says You Can Design Babies For A Few Thousand Dollars

Anonymous No. 16481774

>Chinese genetic engineer who was first to make genetically engineered babies, making them immune to HIV/AIDS a decade ago now says you can genetically engineer babies to be taller, stronger, faster, smarter for just a few thousand dollars

Will you genetically engineer your future kids with your current girlfriend once you get married, /sci/?

Jews already do the second best thing after gene editing, they do it at mass scale to avoid married couples that can have children with genetic diseases due recessive genes.

It will be big, first to prevent well known negative conditions, and then to boost positive traits.

Genetically engineered babies are a meme, like Fusion or Nuclear War - it'll never happen. I've seen the media hype about it since the early 2000s. The significance of the human genome is pretty overrated in public, humans only have about 25,000 protein-coding genes, wheat and the common carp have 30,000 to 40,000 in comparison.
>making them immune to HIV/AIDS
Why the fuck do we even still talk about HIV? It's a meme disease that is impossible to catch as long as you don't inject yourself with used needles, or let a man ejaculate inside your ass. Even then, through anal sex the risk is approximately 1 in 70 (or 1.4%) each time that you can get it from someone who is infected. Injecting yourself with a used needle and it's about 0.67% (or 1 in 150).

>123. If you think that big government interferes in your life too much NOW, just wait till the government starts regulating the genetic constitution of your children. Such regulation will inevitably follow the introduction of genetic engineering of human beings, because the consequences of unregulated genetic engineering would be disastrous. [19]

>124. The usual response to such concerns is to talk about “medical ethics.” But a code of ethics would not serve to protect freedom in the face of medical progress; it would only make matters worse. A code of ethics applicable to genetic engineering would be in effect a means of regulating the genetic constitution of human beings. Somebody (probably the upper-middle class, mostly) would decide that such and such applications of genetic engineering were “ethical” and others were not, so that in effect they would be imposing their own values on the genetic constitution of the population at large. Even if a code of ethics were chosen on a completely democratic basis, the majority would be imposing their own values on any minorities who might have a different idea of what constituted an “ethical” use of genetic engineering. The only code of ethics that would truly protect freedom would be one that prohibited ANY genetic engineering of human beings, and you can be sure that no such code will ever be applied in a technological society. No code that reduced genetic engineering to a minor role could stand up for long, because the temptation presented by the immense power of biotechnology would be irresistible, especially since to the majority of people many of its applications will seem obviously and unequivocally good (eliminating physical and mental diseases, giving people the abilities they need to get along in today’s world). Inevitably, genetic engineering will be used extensively, but only in ways consistent with the needs of the industrial- technological system. [20]

They will probably become 'pre-vaccined' when the government gets their hands into it and forces regulation.

I think it's far more complex than this implies. We dont even know what most genes do, only what they're associated with. I've even heard that one gene may may seem to express a trait in one group of people may not have that effevt in another. In other words, a "tall gene" for people in wales will not necessarily work for people in Rwanda. There are many complicated interaction at play.

In a century we will see pre-natal genetic modification as we see today vaccinations. Would I like for my child not to worry about genetic diseases, heart conditions, alzheimer, cancer and other unborn diseases? Yes. If I can help my child health, fitness and resilience, I will. We put children in school not just to amass knowledge and memories but improve their thinking. Pregnant women don't drink alcohol, eat healthy and don't smoke so thay their children are born healthier and smarter. The intend is the same, but with genetic modifications we can ensure that a child is born with more abilities and potential to achieve its goals. And when the cost are a few thousand dollars every child could.

If this ever goes mainstream, it's going t cause a genetic cataclysm and seriously endanger the entire species.
The first one or two generations will be fine, then you'll start to see more and more frequent cases of generic defects, getting more common and extreme with each generation.
Widespread infertility, deformities, and illness will be the least of your worries. You'll see a huge increase in dementia, schizophrenia, and antisocial disorders, to the point that society is going to break the fuck down.

I'm warning you like I warn everyone.
Do not fuck with genetics.
It will fuck us all up.

Why and how should these genetic defects arise.
Why didn't this happen to animals nd crops that we genetically engineer since more than 30 years. That are more than 5 generations.

Too many leftists in the field for that. They want it regulated because they hate the idea of eugenics. Shame we live in a dysgenic society that needs eugenics to stave off collapse.

Human innovation won’t stop in the grand scale. Government regulations set it back or slow it, but eventually civilisations collapse and renew.

Evolution exists. Selection pressure against HIV viruses susceptible to current therapies, so you should expect to see viruses resistant to them. Same with antibiotics.

Leftists really struggle with the difference between doing something and not doing something.
E.g they equate not giving a starving man food to stabbing a man to death.
E.g they equate genetically enhancing your child to poisoning their child.

Letting people are dysgenic subhumans.

You’re a retard. Natural selection acts on a free market as well as a species.
Why would people buy faulty genetic treatments? They won’t. Instead they’ll buy treatments that work from competitions. Thus there is a selection pressure for companies to produce functional therapies.

Try using that minute brain of yours.
