That's what I meant by shady implications, but this GATTACA shit is science fiction right now. Are going to tell a women trying to exercise her reproductive rights and screen potential embryos for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy they are being racist genociders? Again, I think it's a complex question and wouldn't rush to conclusions.
Genetic engineering under capitalism and white supremacy is going to be a no-go for me. Temporary moratorium until we have socialism and decolonization.
Prenatal screening I've described is already happening and it isn't genetic engineering. Under capitalism/white supremacy new medical or educational technology will first be only available to favored class/race and help them get even more ahead. It sucks, but probably not a reason to stop people from getting treatment/education. I'd say those things should be examined on case by case basis. Like saying rich kids should have DMD and die at 15 just because some poor do seems harsh.
