One thing that still doesn’t make sense to me. In just one generation you and I would cease to exist. They’ve mapped the genome, they know what genes make people like us fight.
Within just a decade or so designer babies would’ve been easily accessible medicine, you could have a choice of fairly innocuous cosmetic choices of hair, eye and skin color, and a smart and healthy baby. But what they wouldn’t tell you is that while they were editing the code, they’d be removing the patriot spirit, the rebel genes, the disagreeableness within all of us.
A future would’ve existed where people who operate the ratlines not only could hide their genetic fingerprint at the scene of a crime, but thanks to companies like 23andme, they could also plant genetic evidence of political dissidents.
Just within a few decades they would have achieved total control with this power alone…
So why jump the gun? Was it just Hillary’s greed alone?
