Right now the average # of eggs harvested for IVF is around 15, so around 100 screen embryos would be the functional lifetime limit. But if we get the tech to grow gametes from stem cells, & get us into that 1,000+ embryos screened, all bets are off. The future is another species
conservative views towards trend of identifying IQ associated specific genes is actually that we cant.
not that it matters because its immoral and hazardous to preform eugenics of this type.
("this type" being a qualifier to contrast it with The Church banning cousin marriage or the Platonic discussion of Eugenics)
My observation at this point is just descriptive, but it's not asbif the church will be a player anyway. It cant even currently be bothered with mass infanticide.
The Whore of Babylon is certainly a force to be reckoned with. It all comes down to fertility tbh because even those with more money than they know what to do with arent hosting surrogate farms.
I love how easily journos can give you such joy. Must be nice to use the charlatan class when it matches your sentimentality
I'd rather see the entire West be brought down in a terrible inferno than see such a large-scale affront to God. If the West can't be saved, kill it.
what if making ppl smarter in this time period will only make things worse

We can just get that from the Flynn Effect without doing anything
Flynn effect has stopped in the West and in any case was hollow for most of it. So no.
Hmm that’s wrong though
No, it's not. The hollowness has been known from the start and is quite obvious from the total lack of tail effects and subtest-specificity of gains. Stagnation papers have been coming out for decades, and even Flynn is writing about how it's been reversing.
Hollowness means inconvenient I guess? The Flynn effect is still going strong just ask Flynnhttp://www.apa.org/monitor/2013/03/smarter.aspx …
Yes, let's see what he says: "IQ decline and Piaget: Does the rot start at the top?", Flynn & Shayer 2017; abstract: "The IQ gains of the 20th century have faltered..."
In Scandinavia but not in the USA where IQ gains have continued. It’s one study too, not clear what’s going on, “IQ” tests vary.
The study in question is looking at principally the UK. And Scandinavia tends to be leading edge for trends, so given these studies also tend to be lagging behind by a lot... In any case, the other arguments still apply.
