"we shouldn't genetically engineer babies to be smarter b/c the rich will get to do it first" is a really crabs-in-a-bucket mentality. the same mentality that opposes automation b/c it'll take away jobs. is temporarily unequal progress *actually* worse than no progress at all?
(there are, of course, other reasons to be against genetically engineering babies to be smarter — I'm only talking about the one, here)
