    Imagine if we got genetic engineering back when everybody inherited their parent’s job. People named Smith would look like dwarves.

      Yes, most humans would be genetically designed living tools to serve the few real, pure bred, unmodified humans
      For them liberation would only mean death, not that they could imagine life in different way
      for copyright reasons, they would also all be sterile of course

        I find it surprising that you think the rich and powerful would not choose to genetically enhance themselves (their children) to be smarter, more attractive, etc. They would surely be the first to do so.
