Okay, well, I don't want my child to have cystic fibrosis.

Okay, that's acceptable, right?

Because that's like, obviously.

Right.

I mean, that's and that's where it's like, well, what if you want to make what if you want to make an embryo that is smarter, that is more resilient to disease?

You know, these things are probably going to be more acceptable

in the community than phenotypes, than looks, right?

So it's hard.

It's like this blurry line and what's ethical, what's not, and how do you define that?

And it's gonna be hard.

There's gonna be all sorts of questions and I would say problems that are gonna arise as this technology advances.

And it is very exciting, right?

I mean, you're talking about what if we could tune up humans where we're smarter, we're more disease resistant, we live longer.

I mean, who doesn't want that?

Right.

I mean, it's a really good question.

Not to mention the fact that, you know, if you start to screen for intelligence and like, how do you define intelligent?

Right.

Because we have this like neurodivergence, you know, people are so different and some people are very analytical.

You have that engineering type of brain and then you have the more conspiracy type and maybe a little more paranoid.
