2045 China: First generation of 200 IQ babies become adults. Cures cancer, begins work on mining energy particles from Andromeda.

2045 America: Second generation of dreamers become adults. Power grid fails, begins work on razor wire around windows.

from the washington post:

Chinese scientist He Jiankui triggered alarm and confusion across the scientific community Monday with the claim that he had edited the DNA of human embryos to create twin baby girls, Lulu and Nana, who he said had been born “crying into the world as healthy as any other babies” a few weeks ago. The controversial experiment was criticized by many scientists worldwide as premature and called “rogue human experimentation.” More than 120 Chinese scientists called the experiment “crazy” in a letter, adding that it dealt a huge blow to the global reputation of Chinese science. By editing the DNA of human embryos, scientists change not just the genes in a single person, but also their potential offspring — in effect, altering the human species. A physicist by training, He told the Associated Press that embryos from seven couples who underwent in vitro fertilization had been edited.

Democrats get all bent out shape when genes are edited but cum in their panties when babies are parted out. Go figure.
