      It’s an interesting ethical debate.

      I have a hereditary condition which passes only by the X chromosome, so should I, as a man, abort a daughter? Because now the risk is too high and I’ve elected to simply not have children. It would be great if I could fix the single swapped base pair that would otherwise cause disfigurement and life-long health problems.

        Yeah I’m always conflicted. Like eugenics is the end goal for these fascists but also… We should try to prevent hereditary defects rtct
