are we cosmic era now?
would you make your child a "coordinator"?
>>13688603
I would make my child white.
>been around for three years

Yeah, no, it's shit.
Newtype whales?

Why would you -want- your kid to go bald early? Pretty much any other race would be better
>>13688714
Because he's not an SJW like you, and would probably prefer his kid to be the only race that has proven itself to be decent 50% of the time instead of 5% of the time like all the others

>journos in charge of details
The shit works, that's what's important.
Gene therapy's still gonna be expensive as fuck for a long time, though.
>>13688603
Yes if I can afford it, DESU. I'd want my child to succeed and be healthier than normal.

>>13688603
>implying anyone on /m/ will have children
Even if we did, they'd likely grow up to be horrible people, like murderers or artists
>>13688782
Well, T / B / H auto-changes to DESU.
That's new. Thought it was only cu-ck that became kek.

Good point, forgot to include those too

Dicks, I deleted my post to edit the image name.

>>13688714
good thing with gene editing you'd be able to edit that gene out too!
>>13688893
It's not like black people, asians, latinos or whoever else don't go bald either.
>>13688714
Never heard balding is exclusive to whites. It's a rare problem, also could be fixed if you can manipulate genes.
>>13688603
Yes, I would.
I'd make all my kids Coordinators.
And we'll have kids running around with anime colored hair
>>13688603
Not at first. The first couple batches of genetically modified humans are going to be all kinds of fucked up.
Treat it like getting a new OS: only fools touch it before the third patch.
>>13690411
It's more of an anglo-saxon and jewish thing, French, Italians and Spaniards are usually less bald.
>>13690722
Sounds like a good plan
>>13690722
I feel like this is gonna be one of those things that are defended by people saying "fuck you luddites, this is the future and we're 100% in control", only for them to not have 100% control over it for a long time.

Listen, this is genetics and biology we are talking about. Relatively speaking, we don't know SHIT.
For fucks sake, its was just LAST YEAR that we figured out that we were reading DNA wrong and had been ignoring literally half of the information it contained. What we knew before wasn't wrong per say, just super incomplete.
There are multiple organs of the human body we really don't understand at all, the brain and the pancreas being the most noteable. We have a rough idea of what they do, but how they do it is still a mystery.
We know a lot more than we did a hundred years ago, but we still don't know nearly enough to go dicking around with human genetics like we know what the fuck we are doing.

Hiro removed the cuck filter, last I checked. Not sure if they put it back up. We'll see.
