A month after Bari Weiss hired to lead CBS News division, heretic eugenics philosopher Jonathan Anomaly is on the morning show pitching bell curves and embryo scores.

Ironically, any amount of zygotic genome editing would be followed up by a round of pre-implantation genome sequencing anyway, to ensure that edits are correct and free of off-targets.
They don't explain any of this conundrum in their ethics statement or investor pitches. It's a scam.

If we want to this, there are only a handful of cases where direct manipulation of the DNA sequence are the best solution.

We must debunk this crap.
Preimplantation diagnosis is much safer than germline editing & w/o slippery-slope ethics in 99.9% of hered. disease cases.
Only exceptions are dominant genet conditions where 1 parent is homozygous, with extremely rare occurences for Huntington's, some AD and BRCA

Tie, who has called herself Biotech Barbie, focuses her entrepreneurial ambitions on a controversial goal: altering the genome of human embryos to prevent genetic disorders

"Samples were then bleached in 3% hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in methanol for 1 hour at 4 °C under bright light"
wow, that sounds like a nice trick to clear the tissue a bit. The z-resolution on this stack is impressive

I probably watched/read too much cyborg sci-fi a la Blade Runner ;-)
metabolism --> "distinctively biological purposiveness"
but this is not impossible to imaging it for machines.

I enjoyed Yogi's writing on this in the past. Thought Experiment
If we were giving AIs a body and metabolism + the need to forage their own energy to sustain their hardware and energetic balance...
Would that make them agents?
(they would need to acquire autopoiesis, would live in the large world)
