Picture this: a wealthy couple sits in a clinic, picking out edits for their future child like options on a luxury car. Smarter, taller, athletic. Maybe a custom eye color. That's not science fiction—that's where this road leads. The moment we allow embryo editing, we turn children into commodities. We start judging humans as products with specifications rather than accepting them as people with inherent worth. That's a massive ethical red flag. I get the appeal, I really do. Curing terrible genetic diseases sounds wonderful. But editing embryos isn't a scalpel, it's a slippery slope. Once we say it's okay to select against disease, where do we draw the line? Against obesity? Against low intelligence? Against being "too short"? The other thing is equality. These treatments won't be available to everyone. They'll be for the rich. That creates a future where some people are biologically enhanced and others aren't. That's not just unfair—it's a biological class divide we can never undo. We're changing what it means to be human before we've really thought through the consequences. That should give anyone pause.
