#1 So now Allergan doesn't have to make iffy breast implants. They can just edit the boob gene in people.

What fun the LGBTQNation will have with this shit. The most funding won't be for research to cure blindness or DNS but on how to give Shondra a permanent 12 inch strap-on.

Legislation should be initiated right now to ensure that editing certain genes at certain ages will be illegal. Before Hollywood 'Mothers' sign up their children for genetic changes to suit their fancies.

#2 News note Dron, if you haven't been paying any attention to it, there's a civil war going on over in the LGBT crowd between the L and the T groups already over your concern. Between the advanced skills of Brazilian and Thai surgeons and hormone therapy, the T crowd already provide more than adequate substitutes. Given the low overall population of the communities, the resultant 'competition' has heated up to the point of territorial displays of power we see between the new 'Squad' and the Pelosi old guard in the more public arena.

The real designer kids are going to be where the money is. If you think mom and dad can pop 250K to bribe a college or university to take unqualified junior in their athletic program, think of what they'll pay a gene therapist to make junior qualified in the first place.

#3 It is probably already happening in mainland China already and we have yet to hear about it.

#4 Magpie, I'm sure they're blundering about, producing the occasional five headed rat or winged pig, but the west has to get there first.

So they can steal it !

But you're right, for all we know there's a Ming version of the 'Island of Dr. Mengele' running in there.

#5 There's a sci-fi story out there about Mexico and most of South America being depopulated by a lab-produced flying scorpion species. More worrisome than designer kids...
