How do you feel about the prospect of advanced gene-editing technology?

@jetpack I certainly think that it should, but there's bound to be political barriers. Regardless of what each nation wants though, some country is going to be willing to pull the trigger, and every other state will be forced to follow suit in order to remain competitive.

@BlueVeins I strongly disagree that the wealthy will allow this privilege become available to "the masses." Automotive technology has increased dramatically in the last three decades, yet I still see more working-class people riding the bus than driving a Lexus.

@SomeAreBoojums Lexuses (awkward pluralization lol) are expensive largely because part of their appeal is the fact that only rich fucks can buy them. It's unlikely that a product as widely-needed as genetic editing would need such an appeal because it already has the appeal of preventing your kids from dying of muscular dystrophy.

Really, the automobile industry is the perfect example of a type of product that got progressively cheaper as time went on. Right now, you can go out and buy a cheap sedan for about US$14,000. Back in 1886, a much, much slower, more dangerous, uglier, and less reliable version of the same vehicle would've cost you equivalent of $24,500.

@BeefySenpie I respectfully disagree.
