I have a fren's colleague who did in vitro fertilization in Thailand. It is said that they screened over twenty pairs of gene chains and had a daughter who studies exceptionally well, rarely gets sick, and can do everything by herself without bothering her. She said she has no parenting experience at all, which is particularly reassuring.
This matter reminds me of a news article I saw online! The internet says that Silicon Valley billionaires are "producing" super babies, selecting genes for unborn children, playing a card-drawing style of baby-making, and developing human embryos to the fifth day. Through embryo screening technology and AI, they can predict information about the child's future IQ, appearance, personality, etc. Theoretically, a couple can produce an unlimited number of embryos; as long as the money is sufficient, they can continue to screen, ultimately leaving the desired one.
Driven by Silicon Valley capital, a company called Nucleus has launched a "gene shop" that lists over 2,000 selectable traits. On their official website, prospective parents can not only screen for over 2,000 genetic diseases but also select for intelligence, appearance, personality, and even optimize for conditions like ADHD, anxiety tendencies, and alcohol dependence, and they can even prevent left-handedness from entering this world.
Will the future rich and poor become different species? Will the distinction between ordinary people and the rich be like that between humans and dogs? The rich rely on "editing" while the poor rely on "mutation."
This technology is gradually developing now. When the children of the wealthy grow up, it will be increasingly difficult for ordinary people's children to survive by their own efforts in the future.
In the past, it was often said that the watershed moment in life is amniotic fluid, but now the watershed moment in life is the embryo~
I wouldn't dare to have children unless I earn a few tens of millions in my lifetime. In the past, having children meant I could place my hopes on them, but now I have to consider whether they can live well in this society, working for those high IQ people and being suppressed.
