I want it banned because I think using it will result in humans becoming unable to reproduce with each other because of genetic incompatibility.

This is slowly becoming a reality with designer babies just around the corner...

At the moment there is implicit hate of "muh master race" is a better race than yours based on stats demographics and purely hatred. After this technology it will be explicit as day light since you cannot argue against what you are because your parents/officials/government ordered such and such baby. Genetically enhanced groups of people will straight up call other groups dumber not because of some numbers but what they can easily prove(modification).

but then again, we aren't snowflakes are we?

What if they genetically engineer people to be like Jesus?

Plus if they can genetically erase the gay and trans genes, I am sure they will compromise.

I think conservatives want to stay white.

Racist! Jesus was white. All the paintings show it.

I guess as long as they don't use this technology for health care, the conservatives will be OK with it...

The era of genetically modified humans are inevitable. A moral predicament is the only obstacle currently but it's only a matter of time.

I want it approved because I think using it will result in humans becoming unable to reproduce with each other because of genetic incompatibility.

I'll take a Musk'esque stance and hope for wisdom.
