For all of human history, a baby's DNA was determined by chance at conception: the so-called genetic lottery. "That era is over," says Noor Siddiqui, whose comp…

I won't get biological children if there is a chance they can get sick genes or dangerousely broken genes resulting into a chronic lifetime decease. I would do a DNA test for my children IF I ever want to have children in the first place. If they posses one of the terrible deceases I would get those genes replaced in a heartbeat. If humanity would be on the brink of extinction, but your children wouldn't have a future or a decent life then humanity can vanish. Not worth it so happy that science can do this for future generations!
I usually pick Uniqlo jeans for my kids
The science is amazing. Hopefully this doesn’t turn society into a GATTACA reality
if parents could choose their children's characteristics, we would see a very large number of tall, strong, blue eyed, blond, intelligent - BOYS.
COORDINATORS, thats what gonna happen
I’m all for eliminating really bad genetic disorders. But then for every good thing we make ten evil things follow. Has anyone seen the movie GATTACA. We already have selective health insurance denial, why bring in Genetics into it.
I have schizoaffective bipolar and I’m conflicted about the possibility it could have been “erased” I would not be the same person nor have had the same experiences that shaped my passions and perspective. My life would be so different without these conditions that I can’t even imagine it. I also have several comorbid physical conditions that can accompany schizophrenia. With the science of embodied cognition I’m skeptical this wouldn’t entirely change the development of my personality as well, the way I think and move through the world, which does have benefits. There is evidence that bipolar and schizophrenia evolved to drive curiosity and knowledge accumulation, and much research has been done on associations with bipolar and creativity
Partner has Huntington's, I would not hesitate to be able to allow my child to have the best potential future I could provide. You know, as is your job and responsibility as a parent and steward of the future generation. Stronger, smarter, more resilient are all things future children will need because the past generations fucked the planet
Not hatin on the ladies, but we all know there would be some sort of trendy instagram or tik tok gene-build for a baby that most ladies would choose to implement on their kids because it's the trend.<br>This idea is horrible though, why are we trying to rebrand eugenics?
Before all the religious clowns start in the comments just remember all religion is man made fiction. Grow up
This is horrific to me. I have some of the conditions listed as now screenable at conception, and I am a whole person who creates value with my life, and I am a legal guardian of a disabled adult who also has some of these conditions and who is also a precious gift to humanity. For terminal conditions, I suppose this is a reasonable practice. For anything else, I can't help but be horrified. And it's trippy to me to hear this presented so positively.

On some level I understand not wanting to have babies that have genetic conditions that make it so they don’t even live to the 1st birthday. However, this is baseline eugenics. Mental disorders and physical disabilities are things people learn to navigate the world through. <br><br>These are not all things to be bred out of society, and the end towards selective breeding to yield a population with enhanced color spectrum visibility, bones, endurance is still eugenics. <br><br>I understand this lady had a mom that lost her sight due to a genetic disorder. However, it is quite faulty to advocate for this for others. Also, does she really think it’s going to be affordable for everyone when people can’t even afford basic necessities and people are homeless and dying from preventable causes? <br><br>I envision a future where, as the wealth divide grows, the elite are the ones who have access to such intricate forms of genetic selection that they are superhuman compared to the rest of the populace. This is a very slippery slope and I truly think it should be outlawed.
I have 3 diabetic children, if this could be eliminated 🎉🎉🎉
No.
The problem arises when we say which traits are good and which traits are bad, and there are too many ways to manipulate and make things worse
I'm mixed for this. Personally i view the ability to basically eliminate certain genetic diseases as a far greater benefit, but i'm also aware humans do shady things. everything we create hold the ability to help or hurt humanity and we seem hellbent on hurting ourselves more than doing good. And places where culturally speaking having the "perfect baby" is desired than the actual human created leaves too many doors for abuse.<br><br>I hate that i don't have enough faith in humanity to even feel comfortable supporting this cause the second it becomes available, behind closed doors we will be playing the designer baby game and that's a game no one will win if we go the same route as we've breed dogs.
God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who... Understands
you choose their name, their religion, their food, their school. when to have them, who to have them with, why not now choose the traits you want for their best possible shot in life
