Millions of designer babies - Would society aim for uniformity or diversity once we have the means to fiddle with the human genome?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:What an excellent question. I think, without a doubt, that it would run full force toward uniformity. Maybe without that intention, but everyone wants the best. However, perhaps after time, it would be more appealing to have “rare” traits or less typical traits, and it would be an issue of trending. Makes me wonder.
