Would you spend $50,000 to produce a smarter baby?

from The Daily Article · host The Denison Forum

Parents in Silicon Valley are spending up to $50,000 for new genetic-testing services that include promises to screen embryos for high IQ. In related news, a Chinese scientist who, six years ago, created the world’s first gene-edited babies has now set up a company in the US he’s calling the “Walmart of gene editing” to produce high-IQ babies. Moral questions abound, of course, but here’s what no one seems to be asking: Are the embryos being tested and modified human? No one is asking because the answer is so obvious. And this fact points to the truth I want to highlight today.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.
