Anyone who falls for the scam of thinking that you can determine IQ from the genome of an embryo is probably below average themselves.

Never overestimate the intelligence of the wealthy: it’s like leaving money on the table.

I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this, but as a transhumanist the potential for this kind of technology is huge.
It’s expensive now, but 20 years ago it cost $2.7 billion to sequence a full human genome, now it’s around $600. Imagine a world where this process is inexpensive and easily available.

You’re just unabashedly supporting eugenics? Is that because you’re too young, or too uneducated to know any better?
