Comment on Should genetic enhancement of intelligence be explored?

It will be explored whether it ought to be or not. We have the means to audit alleles on eggs and selectively discard ones with certain traits. And we know enough about genetic intelligence, as imprecise a term as that is, that it will be selected for if able.

However, this phenomenon will be largely divided by class, as we have had the ability to massively boost intelligence through proper nutrition for generations, and yet those improvements too have been split along class lines.
