  • Designer babies, the end of diseases, genetically modified humans that never age. Outrageous things that used to be science fiction are suddenly becoming reality. The only thing we know for sure is that things will change irreversibly.

      Civilization advance enough to create babies like Jerome would also certainly have stem cell therapies suitable for healing spinal cord fracture! And similar healthcare for most accidents. Plus such civilization would treat their expensively designed babies as royal jewels.

      ​@@auraezahraPeople often while thinking about Designing babies are haunted by early XX Century "racial" supremacy associations... that's also ridiculous! We already know very well that IQ is highly Polygenomic and pleiotropic, uncorelated with "race" which accounts for only 15 percents of polymorphisms between modern people, and that local adaptations are just that: Local adaptations.
      No "race" could objectively ever become supreme all geneticists know this.
      Therefore any (for now hanging among Quantum possibilities) future designed humanity will look more akin to New Age brown skin melting pot than Swedish "Blonden folk".
      If anything it will be racists and white supremacists that will be fighting against Noble He Jiankuis Revolution!

      True, but on the other hand can we afford to wait at all? People are dying every day who could have been saved by such modifications.

    The real wisdom with crisper is knowing that cutting something out is likely to unbalance the pattern, much like why no one deletes your details from a DB but just disables the account in case it breaks or impacts other accounts.

    As a disability pensionist, myself, I think that more than much else, I would be much happier in a future in which adults have the right to self-determine health, emotions, aesthetics and personality, but also the right to choose not to do so, with laws promoting equitable access to technology and laws against discrimination or harassment of either side. It isn't freedom without the right to also say "no", after all. One would have to be a lot more careful with things like super-intelligence or incredible strength, however.
    Even today, we already have a lot of people who are rejected and harassed for not fitting into the standards of their environment. Some people, particularly those facing sexual/personal harassment, have to deal with others trying to coerce them into a standard just because they look a certain way. This is not a problem with their bodies or technology, even if technology may force the conclusion. It is a problem with harassment culture, and it must be tackled as such. No one should be harassed for having or not having a desired trait.

I dont really know how to use the time axis, so lets just use the space one. x=2, y=5, z=10 is the example, the 2, 5, and 10 is the coordinate, while the x, y, and z is the axis. The coordinate exist in the axis, the 2 is the coordinate of the x axis, etc etc. So the universe is not just coordinates, the universe is the axis-es, where the events and the things in the universe and when it happens is defined by the coordinates

      Jesus the son of man and the son of God was pureblood/sinless. Not born of the seed of Adam like the rest of us, hence why he called God his God and his Father, for he was not separated, the Father and he were one. He was tempted in every way, but chose obedience and kept that pure blood spotless for the blood covenant sacrifice and love for the Father and us. Without the shedding of blood their is no remission for sin, it had to be a spotless unblemished pure blood sacrifice. When Jesus took our sin into his body on the cross he cried out "My God My God why have you abandoned me?", he could no longer call him Father, he was in our state for the first time, separated by sin, our sin. 3 hours later in a loud voice he cries "Father into your hands I commit my spirit". Victory he calls Him Father, the father and son relationship restored. He is the door to the Father for all who come and repent, we become adopted children of the Father through the body and blood of Jesus. I have been in the presence of the Father and he alone is good, he is so loving, humble and gentle beyond description or measure. He gives us a new heart, something we cannot do for ourselves by no other means, it is a free gift of love and mercy, for He so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to redeem it back to himself. Our spirit's within cry "Father". The Life-giving Spirit is given teach, comfort and lead into all truth.
