If we have an extremely good understanding of the human genome and we achieve genetic engineering with little to no off-target mutations or we achieve in vitro gametogenesis, then returns will be far larger through genetic enhancement. The major benefit will be that children will be related to their parents rather than some stranger. This will help with widespread adoption.
Lets assume human genetic engineering is wholy morally permissable for sake of discussion.
Wouldn’t it be more effective to clone scientific geniuses? It seems like you could do a lot more good with a lot less effort this way.
