Since people are talking about embryo screening, it seems like a good time to share what is, to me, the most compelling and resonant argument against the widespread use of these technologies and the entire mindset behind it. (From Adrienne Asch, by way of Erik Parens) muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

There's a fresh push to edit the genes of human embryos to prevent diseases and enhance characteristics that parents value. Bioethicists say just because it's possible doesn't mean it should be done.

“Our expert ethical analysis does not support withholding gender-affirming care from minors.”
As pediatric bioethicists, we wrote this analysis of the ethical shortcomings and flawed conclusions driving the two proposed bans on gender-affirming care.

As a bioethicist, I also feel the need to add that the central issue with eugenics is “it’s evil” not “it’s factually incorrect.” And if we finally learned that, maybe big name bioethicists wouldn’t publish “what if eugenics but hi-tech” every five years.

Scientists edited embryo DNA with accuracy that opens the possibility of human engineering, alarming bioethicists.
In a First, Scientists Precisely Edit Human Embryo Genes
Researchers relied on a newer gene-editing technique that may make it possible to engineer embryos, a prospect that has long alarmed bioethicists.

Y’all should probably go ask some Black bioethicists about those racist ass comments to understand their true horror and how they’re connected to contemporary medicine beyond “white people are racist.”
There are whole books on this, I promise. Accessible ones, too.

Legalize hunting bioethicists for sport
Hi Monstro. Thanks for asking a serious question. None of those. But how about the right of an imprisoned criminal to have transgender surgery at public expense? That's what Trump attacked Harris for supporting. Perhaps trans people, and everyone else, would have been better off if she had not.

If you know anything about bioethics and bioethicists, you’ll know just how much of a bullshit farce this is.
I know most ppl outside trans communities aren't paying much attention to anti-trans bans, but you might want to read about this one – it could lead GOP to make "approval from a bioethicist" a requirement for any healthcare (e.g., reproductive) they do not like:

None of these proposals have any evidence behind them. Bioethicists, while great, are not actually qualified to make this decision because the ethical dilemma is not in service provision at all, but in service denial. By requiring an ethicist, DeWine is creating an ethical dilemma that didn't exist.
