Brave NEW World was not a work of fiction. Resist this at all costs. If we allow the government and the leftists edit our genes, we are done. Good luck breaking our chains with an average IQ of 50 and weak pussy muscles. I know they have done much of this already, but there is not a chance of recovery if this is used.

Imagine you have a sequence called CANCER in a place that should read SKIN. Imagine taking that child destined for CANCER by genes and replacing the damaged sequence with SKIN.

I'm not sure it's possible to dumb this down any more than this. At this point I guess you'll respond with "HURR BUT WHAT IF IT SAYS TO MAKE TWO HEADS INSTEAD". Which is why we shouldn't dumb things down for normie retards. And it's also why the average person should have no say in science, you're literally too dumb to understand the choices.

At this point you'll cry about elitism. Conveniently forgetting that 99/100 /pol/ is pro-eugenics.

This is just expensive eugenics for the weak willed and inferior.
There are thousands of hereditary conditions and illnesses that could simply be stopped. We could end their proliferation in one generation, but our society considers it unethical to stop certain people from breeding. So what do we do in response? Genetically alter test tube embryos then implant them back into women via IFV procedures along with heavy use of hormone shots and fertility drugs.

Our sense of morality is so completely twisted I don't even know whats real any more.

It's coming like a freight train. Can't be stopped. Research CRISPR if you want to be btfo.

I suppose if you don't have a high enough IQ to understand the possibilities behind this technology, it would be pretty scary. Reality is this technology is what will save our specie in the long run.

Once we can edit out and eliminate the rare genetic diseases that we are carrying around, can you imagine what that will mean to healthcare costs. Today, roughly 20% of patients make up 85% of the medical costs in the USA alone. Most of that cost is attributed to things like down syndrome, spinal meningitis, etc. All those diseases will be eradicated with eugenics.

Low IQ will also be eliminated in short order. Maybe just 2-3 generations. Since IQ 85 hovers around the sweet spot for criminality, we just won't have those folks anymore. Will there still be crime? Of course. But not near the level we have today with the low IQ populations. That cost savings will be equal to, or more than the health care savings.

So, you can think this is bad science, or voodoo science if you like. The intelligent people see the possibilities and they are huge!

same with all the philosophers in humanity's history trying to explain how death is natural, just and how life without end would be meaningless and what not.

Truth of the matter is people do want perfection, they do want to live forever and they do want to get rid of pain, it's why 90% of all the afterlives feature exactly that. They simply don't dare to admit it because they could in absolutely no way achieve it.

That will not stop CRISPR/cas-9.

It's like offering somebody a magic potion. If they drink the potion, they will have eternal youth. But it comes with a caveat- drinking the potion also ensures the world will end in hellfire in 100 years. It's too enticing- they think that with 100 years of youth, certainly they'll figure out a way around the world ending. The handful of people who don't drink the potion get nothing, and the world still dies in hellfire in 100 years anyway.

CRISPR/Cas-9 is the magic potion, but worse. 1st, There's no warning sign telling you that it'll be the end of humanity. 2nd, this will be people who want the absolute best for their child, so they aren't even weighing the dangers against personal selfishness- making them extra blind. 3rd, the transition to the end will be slow. A frog in a pot that's slowly brought to a boil and all that.

So back to my original statement. IF, a 'huge' and unlikely IF, the rest of the world pulled themselves together to realize the larger ethical and social reasons against CRISPR/cas-9, places like China have the combinations of technology and the lack of control/ethics to play along, and they'll do it anyway.

Just gotta resign humanity on this one. Get aboard the CRISPR/cas-9 train and ride it to the end.

I think differently. Imagine the increase to GDP if your population had an avg IQ of say, 125. That would be almost 2 std over what we have today in the US.

I used to work in a pharma field working on clinical trials, I gotta say after that experience I'm dubious of claims made by these companies. I can't go into specifics because I could get sued into oblivion but basically when we found that our drug didn't do anything or had some negative effects we would either ignore the results or just not publish them.

Biomedical sciences is without a doubt the most dubious field out there (it becomes even worse when you look at Chinese research). It's part of the reason I've gone back to school and now work in synthetic biology.

Not that far, m8. We already have editing capability on many complex traits (eg. hair color, eye color, height, body mass, etc). That is not science fiction or long term future. It's here now.

Things like IQ are a bit more complicated, but we're getting very close. My estimate is 3-5 years and we will know all the base pairs that correlate to cognitive ability. Then it's just a matter of turning on the "pluses", and turning off the "negatives".

Now I agree that mass use of this technology is still a ways off. I'd say less than a decade, though.

That implies that the free market will determine designer babies. It will probably be a state run program.

This isn't accurate. It would be silly to think that skin color is a simple single-gene trait. If you just think about all the different "shades" of skin color in the world, it doesn't take much effort to realize that the "engine" that controls that must be pretty complex. In fact, there are multiple genes that correlate in deciding skin tone. It's not a mutation.

You could be right, but think about this:

If we get to an avg IQ of say, 125-130, that will change to cognitive makeup of not just the general population, but also the political class.

Now, all of us can probably think about what the low IQ version of us would think about eugenics. We can all imagine what the 12 yo self would think, or maybe the 20 yo self.

However, relatively few can imagine what the 140 IQ version of you would think, or even the 160+ version. My estimation is that much of the malfeasance in the world of politics will change greatly when we can engineer populations with even 100+ average. In other words, perhaps we will become less prone to manipulation, since that is an inherit trait of low IQ.

Only cucked faggots with slave type mentality have anything against this. We will soon literally be able to create a master race of humans who are far beyond the average person today. There have been so many promising genes discovered for enhanced intelligence, attractiveness, athletic performance, etc. it's hard to imagine what a human could be like if they had all of them a once in a millenium tier genius could potentially be made from your shit tier genetic material. Even barring that you can remove all the genetic diseases that you have from all of your future offspring.

Respectfully (I know, it's /pol/) but I have to disagree. The science is there and we know that IQ is no different than other complex traits, albeit much more complicated. Again, that's pretty obvious when you look at how complex life is in general.

We currently understand *some* of the base pairs that correlate with intelligence G, or IQ. We just don't know all of them, yet. It's complicated, as it should be.

And I don't blame people for being skeptical of this stuff. Like I say, it's complicated, and it makes people uncomfortable to think that life, at that level, can be unfair. But what does "unfair" mean in biology?

I'm with you here. It's by no means perfect technology at the moment. However, the funding has been lacking. Right now you can get funding pretty well for work on genetic diseases and such. But for things like, intelligence, the funding is pretty sparse.

Good genes have positive externalities, though. Not only is it beneficial for you to be smart, but it is also beneficial for you that your fellow countrymen are smart, making your society better.

Certainly environment plays a large role in cognitive development. We generally know how to lower IQ (undernourishment, abuse, drug use, etc), but we don't know how to raise IQ specifically. Therefore, when you’re young, environment is quite high on the correlation.

However, there are many studies, going back quite a while now, that show that measurements of IQ are largely genetic based once we get into our later years. For women, that's around age 22-24, for men around 28). At that point, IQ correlates at about 0.8, or roughly 80% of your intelligence will be due to genetics.

That’s sometimes hard to see when you’re young, because most peers similar in age seem to be at about the same level (say at infancy up to about age 10). Again, largely due to environment. But as you get older, you start to notice the separation. You start to notice the “smart” people and the “less smart” people. And by time you get to university, well then it’s pretty obvious.

real reason alt-right faggots want to stop gene editing below
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

factors like IQ and height are multivariable and nearly impossible to "meaningfully" influence with current tech but even a 3-5 increase in cm or IQ points applied over a handful of generations (60 years) becomes very meaningful

racism will become infinitely less important once every middle class chang, pajeet or jamal is disease free, scoring well on IQ tests and dominating the lower class that cannot afford gene editing

its almost like racial issues are, at their core, class issues?

I tend to agree that the government isn't currently working for its people, or at least that the US government isn't, which is why we need campaign finance reform. (Not sure how badly its needed in your country.) However, even if that reform never comes, and we only see the government working for its richest citizens, intelligent citizens still offer positive externalities for the rich. Especially in an age of automation when all the unskilled labor is already being performed by machines, the rich will want a large skilled labor pool to drive down wages for skilled labor.

That's not how the immune system works.

Your immune system is working 24/7 even in the personal safety and comfort of your home.

The fact that you have boogers in your nose every day or every few days shows that your immune system is working because the hair in your nostrils are doing their job being the first line in the immune system defense by filtering dust and shit caught in your nose hairs and converting it into boogers.

Camapign Finince reform is not the silver bullet everyone is looking for. Only about $50 million is spent on UK elections compared to the billions spent on US elections, even if the UK population is only 5x smaller than the US population.
Didn't that Georgia Special election cost about $50 million?
Anyway, the problem is not campaign finance, as it is a symptom of the problem caused by the disconnect between the governing, media and establishment classes and the rest of us. This is a direct result of big government, reduce the size of the state, and the problems go away. And I tend to rarely support any mass government programs, so I would be in agreement with Deus Vult anon.

Listen, the problem is the majority of scientists have God complexes. Mankind, unmoored from Natural Law, doesn't have the wisdom to direct science (when it is going at warp speed) in a way that preserves liberty, morality, and individuality - the things that make life worth living. Science and tech should only advance at the speed that people are able to keep up with it, and only if it serves God's plan.

Is it any coincidence that the pace of technological change has speeded up right around the time the world has turned into a Godless, degenerate, leftist hellhole?

You all are a smart bunch of guys, no doubt, but read That Hideous Strength by Lewis. You'll learn why a future of pure Scientism, by philosophical necessity, ends in a world where you will beg to die.

It can go either way depending on who holds this power.

Imagine a scenario where whites have their genes edited making their women infertile or their men sterile.

Or that a race of super beings are born from it.

All your numbers have shown is that the US needs campaign finance reform more than the UK.

>reduce the size of the state
I do not universally agree or disagree with this sentiment; I believe the state is valuable in cases involving externalities. For example, education has positive externalities. Even if you only ever go to private school, it is still worthwhile for you to be forced to pay taxes to public (a.k.a. socialized) education, because it means that you get to live in a literate, educated society.

However, there are certainly cases where I would consider government meddling unwelcome, such as the absurd amount of military spending in my country, or the FDA barring competitors to the EpiPen. I still believe in the value of a capitalist system- with few exceptions, the only times we should step in and regulate involve externalities.

Communism and socialism does not solve poverty. Look at Venezuela and literally every commie country in history and them compare them to capitalistic countries in the same time peroid.

Fighting disease causes more disease, humans have to die of something. Look how antibiotics are getting shoah'd now because of overuse.

And this thread is not about curing disease, its about technology getting into the wrong hands. Or should I say hand rubbing type of (((hands))).

I agree this is massive. every time I read an article about it I get sick to my stomach. There is other stuff going on too that doesn't even make the press. Bio engineered bacteriophages being used in the wild on food products, human animal chimeras that can be used to get around laws about experimenting on humans. This is a truly frightening time.

So if you agree that government is called for in cases involving externalities, than why not in the case of eugenic gene editing, which has positive externalities?
