It’s weird that society is now at a point where we can pick (some) traits for our kids (including biasing towards height/attractiveness/intelligence!) but the outrage machine hasn’t caught on yet.

Nature will do our bidding. No need for outrage lol

Oh but you *know* there’s a lot of people who are gonna be entirely outraged at this when they find out.

Getting Gattaca out there for sure. Ya gotta shell out the bucks though for the designer stuff.

What is the deal with this pendulum driving everything?

And how/where exactly I can do that? 😃

I’m aware of two startups offering the service, but I don’t think they’re very public about it (and I’m not gonna dox them) :).

Sounds like maybe we're not there just yet. 🤷‍♂️

You've always been able to do that with a fair bit of reliability by picking a partner with those traits.

Fair, but it’s additive - getting an extra 7 IQ points on top of the expected value or so isn’t nothing.
