RE: Hello, STEEMIT: Let's Talk About IQ
Ok, so there's a gray area. I wonder what you think about designer babies. What if they could manipulate the genes prenatally so babies have increased IQs?

Have you ever heard about the study that showed CEOs have higher incidences of traits of psychopathy than the general population? As long as we don't fully understand intelligence, the changes we make to enhance it may lead to unforseen consequences like a less empathetic species. I'm not a scientist so I'm willing to accept evidence to the contrary if it's good enough. For now, I think we should tread carefully but I doubt we will. Not if CRISPR/Cas-9 can cure basically everything .
Yes, I've heard that.
I agree with your view that there are unforeseen consequences in tampering with these things.
There would be no point in having a human race of 160 IQ CEOs if they were all psychopaths lol
We'd last about two years tops before extinction lol
You have impressed me, btw. Following you.
Thanks, I appreciate that :) I'll resume posting regularly by next week.
