I think really the problem is the politicisation of the term science. Science is just supposed to be a way for autistic men to earn money and fame by figuring out ways to exploit various phenomenon that occur in nature.
But its since become characterised as a magical power and alternative to religion by midwits. That are then exploited by other midwits as a way to push retarded agendas (eugenics by right, increased taxes by left)
@ArdanianRight @Publius The problem is that it's easily exploitable and too ambitious. We do not know enough about the human genome and if we were to fuck up we would end up with generations of cripples and retards. Also people imagine things like hunting down and killing sick people or genociding entire ethnicities which are things that can definitely happen if some maniac gets their hands on power. There's also a question of what traits are good.
However I agree that conscious promotion of good traits and voluntary sterilization of people who carry severe genetic illnesses are things we should do.
We already partially do, we give mothers the option to abort disabled fetuses and most people select for healthy looking individuals when choosing a mate. Sadly the conversation is too bogged down in moral faggotry.
@kerosene
Definitely. Your body has limited resources and therefore if you push a trait too much it will naturally start compensating for and we have absolutely no clue how that would go.

There is this rule which stays something like «Any measure stops being a good measure when it becomes a target». Knowing how every retard wants to maximize numbers mindlessly, I am very much afraid of what could be of human genetics if/when they inevitably apply the same thought-process to gene-editing. That's enough reason to be against it.
