Got into a discussion last week with someone I used to live with on whether or not genetic editing has the potential to become eugenics. I learned about the Autism rights movement, which has been pushing back against the idea of combating autism through gene therapy. I still think there are plenty of genetic diseases (Alzheimer's, Huntington's, Parkinson's, ALS) that I wouldn't wish on anyone, but it did make me stop and think.
