It's Coppertop time!

That's in the works too. Or to be precise, they're working on an artificial womb that can be sustained in a lab. Designer armies, designer scientists, designer athletes, designer drones to do the dirty work..........the list is endless.

Perfect biological children whom the government will then educate in the belief that they can, with the proper tools, abrogate human nature, the dream of all collectivist societies...

That's a discussion in its own right. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.........and more. The laws of unintended consequences tend to bite such planners in the ass.

The discussion wasn't whether the genome would be edited, it was about the ramifications.

Not to quibble, but you're not the first to discuss the ramifications, either.

However, I do enjoy these malthusian threads of yours; they're classics.

That too is up for debate. Once they start editing the FOXO transcription factor that age my bump up to 85-90. And if they ever get in to in situ editing life spans could be considerably longer.

Via natural paternal imprinting,Ikea is/will be the dastardly foundation for the belief that "they can" acheive such collective dronism.
