          If health risk becomes heritable in the opposite way of it being heritable in feudalism (incest breeded problems), that rich have fewer I guess universal healthcare will easily become under attack.

      yeah i have a genetic disease that causes me crippling pain and i have a 50% chance of passing it on to any kids i have. i basically have sworn off of having kids due to it. dont want them to go through the same shit as me. ill probably end up fostering people, because that whole system looks fucked to shit.

      Eradicating genetic diseases is largely a noble goal, but what qualifies as a disease? How do you eradicate it?

      Do you tell people with tay-sachs to adopt? Do you abort for putative autism markers? Do you crispr away male pattern baldness?
