It’s literally eugenics. There’s nothing ungenerous about calling it what it is.
If you don’t see the issue with genetically modifying children without their consent to “enhance” them or make them racially “superior” then I can’t help you.
Children don’t consent to their genes regardless. Not sure where you get “racially superior” or all these quotation marks around “enhance” - we’re talking about the kind of augments we see in Star Trek, no racial component, just improved health, intelligence, strength, etc.
So yes, I am once again standing by the claim that parents should be allowed to help their children out in that way, and that we’d all be better off if doing so was possible. I guess I’m no longer expecting any reasoning from you about why such a world of healthier, tougher, smarter people would be worse except that the idea of encouraging those traits via genetic modification supposedly constitutes eugenics.
