    Holy shit, GATTACA was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual!

      i call this the ‘tipper gore affect’. aka, ‘you see what you want to see’

      im kinda hopin we dont go down the full-on genetic editing path as they did in the movie… maybe just hardcore embryo defect filtering for know diseases/errors

        It’s not even the genetic editing that was the biggest issue, IMO. It was the pervasive surveillance and discrimination that was even worse.

          yep, good point. it would be nice to solve for those issues before theyre applicable to dna. humans still suck in a lot of ways
