  I don’t trust society to fairly give out any kind of health-related benefit. The USA just ended PEPFAR this year, condemning millions in africa to die of easily-preventable diseases. But you don’t see me protesting the very notion of medical science.

      I don’t really see why billionaires change the calculus. So what if they get slightly genetically superior children? They already have everything.

        You haven’t actually read/watched any of the media we’re talking about here, have you?

        Like, we could get the full ‘echopraxia’ dystopian suite if we arent careful.

        And with billionaires around, we can’t be.
