Gene Editing Could Wipe Out Geniuses...Crispr-Cas9
This is a fairly Orwellian new technology that has potential benefits, but some seriously questionable potential outcomes as well. Here is an excerpt from the article:

New technology which allows medics to ensure children do not inherit diseases could also mean the likes of Thomas Edison, who invented the lightbulb, might never be seen again, according to Dr Jim Kozubek.

His claim comes as the US and China prepare to stage mass trials to edit the genes of cancer patients to ensure it is not passed down in their DNA.

However, Dr Kozubek, author of Modern Prometheus: Editing the Human Genome with Crispr-Cas9, said the breakthrough is not necessarily a good thing and could see future generations of geniuses wiped out.

Here is the link:

You guys know that they are doing this even though they have no understanding of future implications, right?

One star??? For what cause? Not liking to think or read?

I wonder if someone could make a pathogen that would target people that had ANY genome modification.

I don't see the correlation between genius and gene editing. I don't believe learning potential has anything to do with good genes.

After a few animal test widespread eugenics in china at least: russia, and then the floodgates open. Usa will come in dead last. Just look at the russian olympics doping. Its a good indication that this will happen.
