I'm not saying it's bad just calling it out for what it is. For years I've heard people talk about eugenics, and now I see them calling it "CRISPR babies". Almost like their trying to rebrand it lol. If used for the right reasons eugenics can be a good thing. But I think we both know that rich people will end up getting the best of this technology and using it for themselves and their offspring, making the class divide even bigger. They will be able to pick and choose the traits they want like being more intelligent, physically stronger, etc. It's a very slippery slope.
