How far are we away from designer babies?
How far are we from editing genes on the fly?

This guy talked for 5 minutes about how the eye chemicals function and then said nothing about the experimental results. I ain't watching that.

Lulu and Nana already exist. Any state that doesn't invest in CRISPER will fall to the ones that do.

Also, the modification was miniscule in scale, nothing compared to the required alterations for designer babies.

>editing genes on the fly

We've been editing genes on flies ever since some dipshit shot x-rays at drosophila melanogaster.

>How far are we away from designer babies?
We already have designer babies, but their modifications are minor. We can make simple modifications based on a few allells. We could genetically engineer a child to be a bit stronger, smarter and healthier but not extraordinarily so. But the error rate today is still far too high for wide implementation, in 15 years it might be fixed.
In 30 years complex modifications could be accomplished and then you could reliably modify your offspring to have the best possible health, fitness and intelligence. A generation later we might tinker with synthetic XNA .

Quoted By:

the most we can do right now is prenatal screening for individual genes. this is most useful if the two parents know that they are carriers of some disease. by doing in vitro fertilization, screening the zygote for the disease, and then killing it if it has the disease, many congenital defects can be eliminated in the next generation

josiah zayner is a cool dude that talks about gene editing and made a video about why crispr is overhyped, though his youtube channel just got taken down (so you know he’s based)

Quoted By: >>12517217

Designer babies have existed for a long time now. The eugenics program used by dog breeders is where it all got started. Have you seen the breed surveys for German Shepherds for example? Puppies are categorized by a number of metrics related to temperament, bone health, drive, various skeletal ratios, and so on.

Eugenics isn't designer babies. Stop conflating definitions.

It's going to be a requirement in the future. If your child isn't genetically modified then they'll have no chance to compete on the world/galactic stage.
