Should we be able to "play God" with gene-editing?

>>38601760
what, are you scared of space jesus getting mad at you?

>>38601760
Fuck yes. Maybe we can make something better than "humanity."

>>38601778
I'm personally not religious, but we don't even know what the possible consequences of gene editing are yet. If we were to make a mistake, what would be the price?

I'm scared to die. No

>>38601849
Do you mean that you'd rather have it because you don't want to die or that you don't want it to exist because it could potentially kill you

If he can plau with us
Why should we not play with him?

Sooner or later it will be the norm, then it will become obselete because we advance into becoming artificial hybrids or some shit until we all live in a hivemind mothership roaming around the universe pointlessly afyer finally achieving our goal of immortality and securing our species continued existence.

Do you think a future like that is one to strive towards?

No. It would seem good at first because people would use it to ensure healthy babies and shit, but eventually you'd get a bunch of fucking idiots using it to ensure that they have all kinds of retarded shit like 8 sex chromosomes and shit

I'm not sure honestly.

If one wants to find meaning in life there isn't much set in stone beyond ensuring our species continued existence. So in that regard it's a noble goal to honour your genes and instincts.

But when you reach endgame as a species, then what? Populate the entire universe and discover what we can? Harvest solarsystems for >quantumcomputers in chains of trillions to aid us in figuring the universe out?

Or just fuck all that and be a neet and play videogames and not give much of a fuck about tomorrow.

I dunno man

It doesn't really matter, slowly robots will take over organic life
