Reply to comment by StarChild413 in Americans are ready to test embryos for future college chances, survey shows by ChickenTeriyakiBoy1

You went immediately to an extreme. No, what I said is that there will be first class citizens that can afford being GMO’s, and then there will be normal people who can’t. And yes, we can fix the environment but we are too lazy as a species and prefer short term over long term benefits. By the way, it’s not that we are too arrogant to control a baby’s intelligence, it’s just that we can’t as of right now, and we shouldn’t try. Genetically modifying humans is a slippery slope.

You picked and chose only the words you needed to create a whole different message than the one I delivered.

You kinda went to an extreme too, maybe the solution's somewhere in the middle?

It’s truly not an extreme, it’s just the way it will be. I wish there was a middle solution because then there wouldn’t be a problem. But tell me, in all your experience with other people, do you really think that the rich elites wouldn’t end up benefitting the most from GMO babies? Do you think that we would offer free DNA testing for everyone’s gametes? There’s just no way. If you do believe that humans would be fair and let everyone have designer babies, then I hope that you’re right about us.
