Slippery slope towards designer babies

November 22, 2018 CD
Baby DNA.jpg

#DNA Data and Designer babies!

#MyOme and #Genomic Prediction are 2 U.S. startups using genomes to predict disease risk using #machine learning

But how about using #IVF to determine the #IQ, looks or height of your offspring ?

Far fetched ?

Well, #China has apparently been tracking the genome of its cleverest students for years...!

No doubt it sees some #competitive advantage

Meanwhile millions of genomes are being scanned by consumer testing companies e.g. #23andme

#Eugenics raises significant social, moral and ethical concerns for the future…. particularly since your wealth may well determine your destiny !
