Imagine the racial implications if there’s really such a thing.

I don’t want ANYONE to have my DNA results for concern that they’d be used to deny me coverage or care in the future.

That’s why I can’t believe MIT is researching this.

I’ll spread my DNA anywhere. No worries about it, at all.

The elites want this in order to try and improve society. If you’re objectively substandard, you will be sterilized upon birth.

Intelligence has nothing to do with getting a PhD nor 99.99% of all pursuits.

All but the .01% (things like theoretical quantum physics) depend on hard work. Intelligence just makes it easier.

It is no surprise elitists are liberals and they want to emulate Hitler, Godwin’s Law be damned.

Rather, it will go underground so that only the “right” people will see the results.

I don't think there's any doubt that DNA will be used for a more regulated society. We're already looking at "future crimes" scenarios where fools are saying they want the gov deciding who isn't capable of responsible gun ownership. It's the Brave New World scenario....people are being molded to their futures at a very young age. Employers already have a lot of information about a person. Drug testing....who knows what else they're testing for.

It will happen because it can. DNA and micro-chipping will be the future. The sad thing is people are being sold into accepting steps into that direction.

The Georgia Stones state outright the intents of the elites. One of those doctrines is to improve society. I can only conclude that DNA will be used to determine fitness and those who are below 98% (I’m picking a number to share the concept) will be sterilized upon birth.

In theory, in time, that will mean that eventually everybody considered fit will have the physicality of an Olympic athlete and the IQ of an Einstein and everybody will be healthy into their 90’s and whatever.
