Why let nature take its course when you can just hit "edit"?
Seven years after we were first introduced to gene-edited babies (thanks, but no thanks), a new biotech start-up, Manhattan Genomics, is back in the game, aiming to craft the perfect, disease-free offspring. Because who wouldn’t want their baby to be as flawless as a designer handbag?
I mean, if I can’t even pick the right avocado at the store, do we really trust anyone to pick the right genes?
As we embrace this brave new world of “editing” our future generations, just remember: even the best software has bugs.
