1) that is a function of Gurleys, note the word "obsolete". You obviously don't even know what they are.
2) we have machines for that anyway. Dumbass

It is the most complex piece of "spaghetti code" known to us, and there are people who believe themselves smart enough to edit it without undertanding it fully.
We already know what will happen: extinction.
We need a geneticist to sit down with old-school CS guys and have their folly explained to them.
If they persist the "researchers" and "scientists" will need to be arrested and imprisoned for life.
The charge: attempted genocide.
If they actually edited a gene before implantation then they need to be executed for actual genocide.

Changing a gene with the intent to remove said gene from the human gene pool is genocide and needs to be treated as such.

No. We already decided the punishment is for both planning and enacting genocide.
The only question is: Is removal of one trait from an organism genocide?
The answer is an unequivocal "yes." Simplify the number of genes down to only three, seeing as the human genome is far too complex for any human to envision the entire thing. Even simplifying the gene names is acceptable: Genes A, B, C, D and E.
Each organism needs three genes, and must have genes A and C.
If we find that D is responsible for IQ, and produces higher IQs only when it follows C and never when preceding another, and begin editing the genes to 'correct' this condition. Have a look at the models over time.

ACE's vanish.
AEC's vanish.
CAB's vanish.
the only thing that will ever exist from the point where editing is begun will be ACD.
That causes the extinction of all the other genetic variations of the organism. It happens quickly because there are so few terms, but increasing the terms only lengthens the extinction timeline, it doesn't eliminate it. As you increase complexity you have to increase the cohort, and as you add in breeding patterns the exponential nature of large numbers kicks in, thus shortening the time line more than you lengthened it.

Further it eliminates diversity as everyone is organisms having the genome pattern of ACD.
Feel free to add to the complexity of the model, but if you run simulations with any weighting to selecting for intelligence (or whatever terms you add) that is above fully random, you will tend towards "genetic homogenaity", thereby making the species as a whole more susceptible to natural "shocks"--ice ages, viruses, bacteria, parasites, nuclear winters, CME direct hits, asteroid-induced mini ice ages, etc.

(trying to write this between work calls, and can't be arsed to proofread it. hopefully it makes sense.)

Would it be unethical to take a small piece of human DNA and create a subservient species for the sole purpose of serving humans. Not editing humans, but using a small amount of human DNA to create an entirely new species with the intention of fine tuning it to suit the desires of the creator?

>>136039615
Well, some sacrifices must be made to make the humans even better. If we don't upgrade ourselves we will stagnate, after all, evolution is a very slow method that gives improvements.The other option would be mechanical upgrades to our body, but our genetic problems would still be there, so I don't know, at least give it a shot.

>>136041744
I was thinking more cat girls or an assortment of other domesticated animals as sort of beast sex slaves. Close enough to humans to breed with, but far enough away that it doesn't hurt the gene pool.
>>
>>136042045
Why would you want to breed with them? Make them sterile ffs
>>
>>136042727
You'd want more than one wouldn't you? Would you prefer it's a one then done after it dies deal? You could probably edit the genes for aging or reproduction but to make it completely sterile would just make it nothing more than a living flesh pocket.

>>136043062
Yeah but think of all the nasty incel genes that would get mixed in.

>>
>>136043290
True, but that would only increase the value for the good ones. Plus, another species humanity could communicate with that is just far enough away that it would be exotic would be interesting to see. A species created from man, that inherits some of man's qualities, yet is far enough away to blur the ethics and the concept of human rights.

But if you implement change in the first place, its not a singular event. Its continuous.
The gene coding can be stored, and the blueprint code can be drawn from either to adapt the organism to the current circumstance in accordance with the original design(s), or to reintroduce genes that would increase its chance for survival via diversity.

Furthermore, to remove a trigger gene is being able to remove a toxin from the pool rather than hoping the toxin would be diluted out over time with volume.

>>136045781
this logical, If I remember my biology lessons right. Then the male is the one contributing the gene that decides a gender. So even If the first born is female and is compatible with human DNA then there is a great chance gen 2 is a male.

I can't answer that quickly. It Venn's with cattle and horses, just starting with a different species at its root. That's a fun question, though.

>>136041778
>to make the humans even better
That's too subjective for me. I can't argue "better" without it being clearly defined, but even then our definition has to apply to events and environments that are well beyond our ability to accurately predict or control.
