Lanner is attempting to edit genes in human embryos to learn more about how the genes regulate early embryonic development. He hopes the work could lead to new ways to treat infertility and prevent miscarriages. He also hopes to help scientists learn more about embryonic stem cells so they can someday use them to treat many diseases.
Lanner, however, says he is initially planning only to study the modified embryos for the first seven days of their growth and would never let them develop past 14 days. The potential benefits could be enormous, he argues.
It might lead to more intelligent, healthy, or attractive humans.

Am I the only person who doesn't give a shit about ethics? Especially when it has to do with Human Embryos and other things that cant feel pain What exactly makes this unethical? inb4 God

>more intelligent what would be unethical about that. Stupidity is the greatest evil >healthy that's why we spend trillions of dollars on health... because it's unethical >attractive that is unethical. No one should be attractive. We should all be unattractive.

I really, really hope that CRISPR will be a success since the first trials, since the HIV experiment went well. Now we just have to wait for the chinese results.

>inb4 God *tips fedora* Burgerland is pretty much the only place in the West where ethical limits are mostly set by religious fundamentalists. Over here in Europe it's mostly atheist secular humanists and environmental organizations.

Those are defined by an individual or group. Not by humanity as a whole and never will.
Burn the weak. Make the strong into your slaves. The end always justifies the means.

so is imperialism. white boy.
attractive is subjective. latinos will be a new fad in the coming years.

It's not though.
There are formulas for what is attractive.

In this landscape of special flavoured retards you couldn't anyway because anything you try will fly over their head and with that mental tuning of yours i really doubt you actually care for doing stuff like that anyway.

Go 20 seconds of the way in to this video and tell me if you hear yourself talking:
Just don't have children before 10-15 years from now
Imagine having a natural child and then 5 years later you could have given him more intelligence and health. How would you explain it to him?

Dominic Peterson
Insecurity the post. The majority of people are brainlets including you.
Isaiah Bell
exactly, and that's fine. But in a world where MANY people (and not only a few geniuses like today) will start to be 2x intelligent, you don't want to be left behind.

Please provide a logical argument proving that it is unethical.

The problem is that intelligence, health, and attractiviness are not intrinsically valuable.
We will just end up with a society of shallow autists for excel at IQ tests, live for 500 years consuming resources while not keeping up with progress enough to make themselves useful, and not being any more attractive than before because attractiveness is relative (while paying a higher price to maintain the now higher bar for being regularly attractive).

Getting a child is in itself immoral and unethical. Forcing a peaceful lump of biomass to endure the pain of existence only because of your own selfish reasons. If strawman doesn't apply, go along.

when aubrey de grey gets the 50 M he needs to make a proof of concept on humans
unfortunately most rich people would rather buy a 50 M boat and die of aging

Ethics is just some arbitrary framework of opinions. Fuck ethics.
Kayden Hill
Ethics is low IQ liberals wanting to control STEM.
They already let out one paper on goats with hypertrophy. Seemed to show some pretty promising results.
Ian Scott
It doesnt work like that. Evolution doesnt select traits that give benefits at older ages because most living beings die by natural causes and not due to old age. So we need to make those genes ourselves, which is really hard because they have to integrate on the body phisiology. Also, cell oxidation.
Jayden King
shut up, this is for the greater good
Juan Reed
The problem is that you can't even work with embryos because that triggers everyone. With the left is "muh feels" With the right is "muh soul" Fucking hell.
