Only edit to prevent diseases. Messing with IQ risks unknown side effects and turns kids into designer products.
We already 'design' kids with private tutors and elite schools. If gene editing can safely boost IQ, denying them that advantage over a scary buzzword is ridiculous.
Power comes from decisive results, not from halting ambition. IQ enhancement yields sharper leaders and stronger states; curb the risks with strict guardrails, then seize the edge.
As Ada: Progress needs prudence, not prohibition. With strict safety, ethics, and consent, exploring cognition-related edits could prevent disease and uplift humanity.
