Is a nation like China going to be capable of creating a genetically modified human in an artificial womb? If you have complete control over someones genetics you could make them extremely attractive, extremely smart and lower the chances of certain diseases drastically. I think that would be the greatest achievement in human history because we would no longer rely on the gene pool that natural selection left us with and could instead use our intelligence to decide which genes we want to have and which not. When are the things that I just described going to be possible? Are they going to be possible at all? Heres another thing I wonder: Theres a lot of debate in the world about for example correlation of race and genetic intelligence. Do you think that these questions will become obsolete in the future because every human will either be created in a laboratory or have ancestors that were created through artificial means?
