I believe this comes to the old analogy "Science provides the keys, but it is humanity that decides what doors to open." Technologies like these are incredible developments in science, however with these developments they can be both used for morally good and bad things - similar to the development of nuclear technologies 80 years ago. We need to be careful here in how this is used.

@andrewlamore72

It's not so much about giving children what we think are good traits, but instead it's about designing someone for a specific task. For example, with crispr we could breed babies that are stronger than everyone else, but force them into jobs as laborers or soldiers. What most people are afraid of is the rich using their money to create a breed of humans naturally smarter than everyone else, thus putting humans into two camps: dumb and poor or smart and rich, and there wouldn't be anything the dumb and poor people could do about it.

Most parents don't want a purple-eyed hulk with the IQ of Tesla. Most parents want simply the best for their children and they are smart enough not to go to the extreme. And I don't see the problem if someone who isn't really sick but let's say is bold, or short, or maybe has a rather low IQ, doesn't want his child to have the same kind of problems to deal with. I doubt that the child will blame his parents for changing such obvious, disadvantages. To be able to prevent your child from a disadvantage and then to choose not to, *that* is the morally questionable decision, in my eyes.

So selecting sperm from specific males for specific traits in a sperm bank is fine but CRISPR is not? So getting a abortion due to health defects or other issues that can be seen during embryo development is fine by CRISPR is not? So on and so forth. The only different between the two is that one is slightly more "natural" then the other. The outcome is the same or better. You just have a hypocritical view point and fail to understand the failure in your logic rather then opening your mind to the countless lives and humanities progression in society that will happen.

robert karas I think there are two separate arguments here. The first of which we agree on; using CRISPR and other genetic marker detection systems to deal with potential health defects, is good. The second question is more morally ambiguous. I'm worried about the potential class divide that CRISPR could create. We are approaching a time, where through the means of a (potentially) expensive embryonic procedure, it is possible to create physically superior humans. Who's to say that this doesn't create a divide in the human race? Genetically engineered vs. non-genetically engineered. I think that this divide is already coming in terms of physical technological enhancements. These procedures are going to create an objective divide between classes. This is conflict theory on steroids. This is how anarchy is formed.

We must. Ultimately we will have no choice but to do the designer baby thing. We have long stopped selecting for survival. For a long time now, people who in the past would have not survived to pass on their genes are now surviving and having children. Those children in turn go on to have more children with others who are similarly less survivable without the benefit of modern medicine and convenience. The literal fact is that the human genome, on the whole, is degrading, and it is degrading fast. Designer babies is in essence the solution. As a for instance... Do we do a prospective child any favors by allowing them to be born with substandard IQ? The answer is to me an utterly unambiguous no. Where is the harm in having more intelligent people? We have an ethical responsibility to give our children the best possible future, and that includes the best possible genes.

Nature's fundamental principle is to maintain the highest possible diversity at any time - within species and between species. The theory of natural selection is meaningless and straight wrong. All life emerged out of a single cell here on Earth and now look around you what incredible variations came out of this *single cell*! We should keep that in mind when progressing further - increase diversity be it genetical (naturally or engineered) or technological (robotic, AI, etc.). It would be a grave mistake to only head for one ideal based on our limited perspective. All branches of the tree of life end at some point and so will the tree of life itself - except we plant more different trees of life.

the withering production Eugenics is not about elimination of sections of the gene pool. Eugenics is the belief that there are superior and inferior gene expressions in humanity. CRISPR rides on such a belief being true, which is somewhat true.

I don't understand why eugenics itself is of any concern. Humanity should be striving to improve itself and considering how fast we are changing our environment -- and may even need to adapt to entirely new environments such as the harshness of space -- evolution just isn't going to cut it. Genome editing techniques may be one of the most important tools we have to ensure the continued existence of humanity. It seems to me that the bad rep of eugenics comes from archaic implementations of times past and primitive understanding of what genetics actually is.

I hate it when someone says "doubled life expectancy." They're almost always taking about human life span, and it's relation to increased medical advancements. Life span hasn't changed all the much for the past couple thousand years. Medical advancements help lower infant mortality rates and the risk of death in medical situations, but it hasn't increased life span by a significant amount.

I think that it would be, since our skin color has to do with the pigments produced in our skin, if you tell it to produce a diffenet color, it'd change your skin's color.

The thing is, even if the majority of countries on earth outlaw designer babies, it takes only one country to allow it and people who can afford it will go there to get their genetically enhanced offspring. How long do you think other countries will watch their own citizens who abide by local law to be hopelessly outcompeted by kids who are incredibly smart, strong, good-looking and charismatic by birth?

Is it ever possible to change the genetic information, so that we can stop random mutation? I think random mutation always uses a minimalist approach, so if we evolve too efficiently by changing genetics ourselves, random mutations might try to bring us backk to the more minimalist style or the clash between our changings and random mutations would cause unwanted results.....p.s this video is the only thing i know about CRISPR so nothing what am saying might be facts.

Melvin Pariyadan Cool idea. I don't know if CRISPR would be used to do this though. I think this would be more of a genetic "protective barrier" of some sort. Genetic mutations occur randomly when our cells replicate DNA in order to divide which would be the biggest problem in the way. As far as we know, our genes don't want to randomly mutate. Although, would we want to stop this from happening? After all, we are human due to random mutations and natural selection.

I hate the whole ethical problem people bring up with this topic. Because so what if it a sketchy matter, it one that should be explored since the benefits it can provide are massive. Not to mention you wont stop independent group from exploring the possibilities, if they aren't already. Now i get there can be huge negatives that can come from this, but at the same time if you focus on those things. You are just demonizing something before it has a chance to show off the good that can come from it. And there for allow us to fully see the possibilities that can be had.

Excellent stuff! Just one point, unnatural selection is only unnatural from our very human perspective. In the bigger picture, this technological advancement is definitely a part of natural selection. In the long run will this advancement within the cultural context we have now, prove to be advantageous or will we prove to squander it's potential and misuse it frivolously like we've done with so many other technologies? Will natural selection prove this to be another dead end?
