Whatever the benefit of this is, it needs to be weighed against the potential for negative PR. I can imagine the articles and posts discussing EA’s movement into eugenics and I don’t think they’d be very kind
Negatives might be large relative to potential gains for sperm donation. That seems reasonable. I think people interpret sperm donation as self-importance. Subsidy of IVF + polygenic screening might not come off that way but could still be called eugenics. Returns to that would be much larger though.
