[ExI] I hate them

[Rafal Smigrodzki]

I just skimmed through this hack job of an article:

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/614690/polygenic-score-ivf-embryo-dna-tests-genomic-prediction-gattaca/


 and I am angry. This is an attack on Genomic Prediction (GP), a PGD
company that offers polygenic scores for pre-implantation testing. I am so
angry I have difficulties writing. The stupid sanctimonious jerks are
"concerned" over what GP is doing, spew garbage about "eugenics", and bend
over backwards not to admit the truth - that polygenic scores can help
prevent death, disease and suffering.

These pieces of arrogant filth do not care about human life and health.
They refuse to think, they *feel* and their feelings are for them more
important that human life and health. They are arrogant, even as their
statements show muddled emotion-driven rationalizations, they claim to be
experts. Their actions harm human life and health.

I hate them.

We have few duties to each other and one of the most fundamental ones is
the duty of the parent to take care of his child. We, parents have the duty
to give our children the best chances for a healthy, productive, and long
life. We feed them, clothe them, teach them, love them.

GP offers polygenic scores that let parents choose embryos that are least
likely to grow up into sick, unhappy people with short lives. The test lets
us give our children a bit more health, a bit longer life, a bit better
life. The hacks who wrote the article are trying to deny us access to this
technology. The article is deeply, revoltingly immoral.
