I could say, for example, this embryo is going to be super, super, super smart, right?

No, we're careful in the way we say things.

Well, that's just a false claim, right?

Yeah, I mean, it would be false, but also like people-

Patients can't, so again, there's no moral value because that comes from God, but patients can decide instrumental value, right?

Like going back to the deaf couple,

The deaf couple deemed it to be best for what they want for the outcome they're optimizing for.

In this case, best means optimizing for the set of biological characteristics for some outcome.

For example, somebody might want their daughter to be shorter to be a gymnast, for example.

Somebody might want their son to be tall to be an NBA player.

Someone else might say, I don't care how athletic they are.

I don't care how pretty they are.

I want them to be an academic and study really hard their entire life.

Depending on those things, as I mentioned in cell biology, specialization breeds sophistication.

You realize very quickly, very intuitively, that the value of a phenotype is contingent to its environment.

I get it.

So this is what it comes back to.

It's up to them, the parents, to decide what is their instrumental value that they map to these phenotypes and to pick.

It's up to you whether you want to take fentanyl.

Yes.
