Comment on 357 | Jeff Coller on mRNA, Vaccines, and Bespoke Therapeutics by Gregg Wright

Great episode. I was hoping right up to your last question that you would ask about the potential problems, not of designing DNA intervention for evil purposes, which you did explore, but how some “good purposes” might go bad. How big is the problem of people wanting to interve in their children’s DNA to produce “smarter” kids, or “taller kids” or kids with other “positive” traits that may go bad in the long run. Despite the fact that we are still in the dark ages in being able to define “smarter” kids, there maybe the incentive to try which, in the long run, might be detrimental to the “smarter” kid, or to our society in general. Not sure how this kind of comment can help—the interview is done—but maybe a discussion here might turn out to be fruitful. .. . Or perhaps a future guest could address . . . Thanks for all your great interviews!!
