You can only vote on one answer.
If you choose yes, you would ensure that they would be stronger, smarter, and better looking compared to other kids. They would also be immune from diseases.

If you choose no, they would have be born without any advantages and would be at risk for heritable defects and illnesses.

@softspokenman: If it's allowed to be used on humans, most certainly. I don't think we've yet to make a decision on that

@softspokenman: There are lots of advantages for a government to have genetically enhanced people. Less healthcare costs, more productivity, more innovation, better soldiers, and so on. In a world dominated by superpowers like the US and Russia, it wouldn't be hard to imagine that some country out there would also want a slice of the pie
@HalfCactus: It could also produce people with an intelligence level to end all the BS between superpowers and to change the life experience into a beautiful one for everyone, especially in the future, instead of the living hell that it is.
