What I'm afraid of is when we accomplish genome editing; eradicating diseases, making all babies, stronger, smarter and more intelligent by removing bad genes and only leaving good genes, diversity will decrease and people will become way too alike. If that happens and continues at the end we'll all be very similiar and we'll essentially become robots with our only purpose being self replication and thriving on. It feels as if life would become bland, but of course I'm all up for editing ones genetics to avoid down syndrome, cancer, diseases etc but in a complicated way I'd like it if we didn't allow adding good genes or at least not too much to keep diversity alive i.e removing the bad genes and leave the rest remaining without adding any superior genes. I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
