Geez, grandpa, when did you become a tightwad? Having a conniption over dongle jokes is for Millennial special snowflakes.

You might remember a time when there were more female programmers (as a percentage) than there are now. You might even be old enough to have worked with them. Did you pitch a hissy fit when they CC'ed you on the dirty jokes?

We still don't know enough to prevent unintended consquences or complications

Yes we do, the "consequences" are every human being without the genetic disease, or every human being who already has the desirable trait you're inserting. It's just like rocket science - smarter people than you understand it more thoroughly than you, and every risk you can possibly conceive of they have already considered.

You people talk like this shit is like fucking magic, as if there is a metaphysical price that must be paid for every boon the technology gives you. Me am play gods!

Please no Gattica-style selection of socially prefered traits to create a dis/u/topia of ubermenchen and untermenchen.

Who are you to tell your hypothetical superiors they should not exist? You're not concerned with the risks, you just envy imaginary people.

The poor will be at a financial AND genetic disadvantage.

Which is precisely why they'll try to outlaw it. It's the only way it will remain expensive.

It's time to resolve the ethics of telling other people what they can and can't do with their own DNA and reproductive choices.

And the resolution is: you can butt right the fuck out. It's none of your god damned business.
