There's two options:

Either genetical improvement will be only available to top 0,5% (this way nothing changes, they're already separated from the rest of us, we don't interact)

Or it will be available to top 70% (middle class)

In both cases there's no scary divide.

We could have scary divide if this option was only available to 10% population, but economically that's unrealistic.

Talking about developed countries, of course.




Those are some pretty impressive fake numbers you pulled out of thin air, there.

Please try to keep comments to the realm of reality. Just making things up doesn't move the discussion forward.


Some numbers are better than no numbers. I'm ready to hear your numbers. You also behave rude.

Modern USA as a country is based on premise that anybody can afford to buy a car. I don't see why society can't be based on premise that anybody can afford eugenics for their children.


Are some numbers really better than no numbers when you make them up?


for internet FUD, of course. for normal discussion... you guessed it :)
