New Company Charging $5,999 to Advise Which Human Embryos Are Best

Nucleus Genomics, in its infinite wisdom (that’s dripping with sarcasm), has revealed a $5,999 analysis of embryos, which can reveal certain factors, like likelihood of age-related diseases, height, and IQ.
It basically allows prospective parents using in vitro fertilization to go window shopping for the “best” possible baby, as dystopian as it is to type those exact words out.
“It is about living a longer, healthier life,” Nucleus founder and chief executive Kian Sadeghi told the Journal.
...
Just listen to this opening paragraph from the Journal (emphasis added): “Prospective parents using IVF will soon be able to rank embryos using genetic and other information in the hopes of extending the longevity of their offspring, according to the 25-year-old entrepreneur behind Nucleus Genomics, a DNA testing and analysis company.”
Picking and choosing who lives and who gets shoved in a freezer — or worse — based on physical traits and characteristics is the literal definition of eugenics.
...
“The embryos are given probabilities for the likelihood they will get these chronic conditions,” the Journal noted. “It is up to the parents to decide the qualities most important to them when choosing which embryos to use.”

We only pick the blonde blue-eyed Arians.

Just wait until you see the DEI rules they come up with for that.

That is incredibly sad.
Also... the dude is 25yrs old? Red Flag Alert.

One of my favorite movies. Guessing by your spelling of it, I take it you didn't get the easter egg in the movie title

Genetic testing of the embryo is common place before most IVF inseminations today. But it’s just focused on normal vs abnormal cell growth.

How so? It has always been an inevitability if we're being honest with ourselves

What do we think women are doing on tinder?
It’s like football. You can coach a guy up but God makes you a good enough athlete to play

It doesn't seem clear you understand what is happening here

They are picking and choosing already created embryos based off criteria that is not limited to viability.
Do I get a cookie?

Did you think all of them would eventually be born?

No. And that's awful, too.
I'm not in favor of fetus farming, period.

It is exactly what is done in nature, just more precise. Modern technology has taken away our ability to strengthen the species. Designer babies will change that.
What will be interesting is the state of the world after a century of this. You will see nations with significantly higher IQs, height, health, etc. because of wealth.
