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.
Yes it does make sense that they would give up their identity, their being, their humanity just for a leg up to win a place in the machine, for a shot at running the machine, king of the shit hill, that does explain a lot.
I don’t really get how you’re getting all that from polygenic selection – the current state of the art in legal eugenics. Polygenic selection is just like, choosing the best of n embryos; any one of these babies you could have conceived naturally, it just boosts the odds a little. Anyway, it doesn’t affect oneself, only one’s children, so nobody actually gets a choice, and nobody’s identity can be given up. One’s identity isn’t formed until well after birth. What you’re saying doesn’t even make a lick of sense.
I wonder how many steps of this kind of seemingly banal interference before the humans that come out are as broken as your average pug. We easily have made human monsters in the past, like the Hapsburg and sure you’ll say it’s inbreeding but I say no, it’s any long term act of human selective breeding other than natural sexual mate selection, uncoordinated beyond the individual level.
I just hope the human GMO monsters aren’t allowed to commit some kind of genetic neo-spinal catastrophe on humanity by growing an extra finger or something. Anyone who understand the subtext of “xmen” should understand where that’s going to go even in the best case.
Imagine if we got genetic engineering back when everybody inherited their parent’s job. People named Smith would look like dwarves.
