Evolution doesn’t create perfect.

Evolution favors whatever traits are passed on. If you live long enough to reproduce then mission accomplished. Your quality of life leading up to that doesn’t matter as long as you survive long enough to do the deed

I get where you’re coming from, but the percentage of our genome needing to change to greatly improve the species is less than you’d think

You misunderstand, to have an impact species wide it would be a “mass casuality” event. What’s being done with IVF is too insignificant to the entire gene pool to cure us of genetic based disease or any of the other positives

Sometimes I do think it’s a shame. We as a species could end genetic disease within 1 generation. We could have a smart, stronger, kinder, and ultimately healthier humanity.

But we aren’t ready for it. Any attempt would be forced. Any attempt would get tainted immediately by racism, religion, nationalism, etc.

Sometimes it makes me sad to think of the potential of technology and how we’ll likely never be able to use it ethically or responsibly

What do you people think rebellion is?
