Dr. Ian Malcolm: Gee, the lack of humility before nature that’s being displayed here, uh... staggers me.
Donald Gennaro: Well thank you, Dr. Malcolm, but I think things are a little bit different then you and I had feared...
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, I know. They’re a lot worse.
Donald Gennaro: Now, wait a second now, we haven’t even seen the park...
John Hammond: No, no, Donald, Donald, Donald... let him talk. There’s no reason... I want to hear every viewpoint, I really do.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Don’t you see the danger, John, inherent in what you’re doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet’s ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that’s found his dad’s gun.
Donald Gennaro: It’s hardly appropriate to start hurling generalizations...
Dr. Ian Malcolm: If I may... Um, I’ll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you’re using here, it didn’t require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn’t earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don’t take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now
[bangs on the table]
Dr. Ian Malcolm: you’re selling it, you wanna sell it. Well...
John Hammond: I don’t think you’re giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody’s ever done before...
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.
“Disgusting: New Company Charging $5,999 to Advise Which Humans Should Live and Which Should Die” I wonder how much they would pay me to let them choose?
That’s what I thought too.
All the executives, MBAs, lawyers, marketers, and scientists at that company should go straight to the top of the chop-chop list.
Maybe the janitor’s younger siblings can be spared.
Shades of the movie ‘Gattaca’...
Some famous people who may had not been born if science had decrypted the human DNA sooner: Abraham Lincoln (Marfan’s Syndrome), Emily Dickinson (Manic Depression), Vincent van Gogh (Epilepsy), Albert Einstein (Dyslexia), John F. Kennedy (Addison’s Disease), Rita Hayworth (Alzheimer’s Disease), Ray Charles (Primary Glaucoma), Stephen Hawking (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), and Jackie Joyner (Asthma).

Limiting the Life of Children
“ Just to get this out of the way, IVF is unspeakably evil.
No matter who supports it, you simply cannot be a pro-life Christian and think IVF is OK.”

Jeez, I wonder if the writer has been blowing up IVF clinics recently. /sarc?
But evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
2 Timothy 3:13
Most often people do IVF because they cannot naturally become pregnant. Not because they are eugenicists.
Many people can conceive but cannot implant so they may flush 100+ embryos by attempting to get pregnant without IVF. With zero babies to show for it.
Most embryos with even minor genetic defects do not implant and far more likely to miscarry if they do. In many such cases, people attempting the natural way have already destroyed several times more embryos than IVF. Sometimes with traumatic miscarriages or abortions to save mother’s life down the road.
Genetic screening is mainly used to determine which embryo is least likely to miscarry. The more cells with missing chromosomes, the higher chance the embryo will miscarry naturally.
Yes, scientifically choosing which embryo lives is harsh but natural selection is often harsher. The average person attempting to get pregnant probably loses more embryos by chance than one average round of IVF.
Every one of those embryos is a unique person. Man has no right to say which ones are superior and which ones may be defective. We really are living in a world dominated by barbarism.
Some prospective parents just want to have somebody there to wipe their asses for them when they get old.
My wife was recently diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. They offered her an option of genetic testing. We declined. We’re worried that they will use that to flag our daughters as higher risk and deny them future coverage.
How is this ANY different from what the NAZIS were believing and practicing in the 1930s?

BRAVE NEW WORLD by HUXLEY has this test in their slow conveyor belt test tube babies.
Moms were no longer needed and the mention of them was so vile they spelled it as “M——r”
Pick your child from the bottom of a long black tube.the Eve of Destruction.🤔
Most, if not all of Elon musk’s children were conceived via IVF. This is because his first child was stillborn and he considers anything other than IVF to be “inefficient.”
