SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 days agoIt’s illegal to gene edit embryos?
Not in all countries. In US, it’s not illegal unless you use federal grant money.
So Sam Altman is starting a company to do this, basically targeted eugenics for wealthy people. Of course, the technology is not 100% accurate, so there will be children born with genetic abnormalities or disease, …so keep the receipt!

That sounds horrible. So what do they do with the kids born with issues? Are the wealthy just going to send the kid to be adopted or somehow make it legal to dispose of babies?

In episode 5 of this show:
The governmwnt has this sort of what I call a “breeding program” that basically artificially creates embryos and insert them into women who’s main job in this dyspotian future is to raise the kids. Exams at 15 and 18, if fail, then the embryo is considered defective and the government soldiers take the kids to an “advancement program”, which is secretly just forced euthanasia. ADHD is also considered defective and they get terminated.

Better yet, they’ll have the carrying mother deported with the yet to be born baby, or simply disposed of in a recycling center

It’s not abortion if the baby is born.
