Ive been wondering what peoples thoughts on genetic engineering on human beings is. Personally i dont think its a road that ends well.
Unless we have strict rules to restrict it only to curing lethal genetic diseases i think its a bad idea
1. Global: assume #genetics #research will get/be out of control "somewhere" at any point in time... #Regulation won't work completely as the only #strategy .
2. #Challenges ..:
2a) #HumanError **always** happen: #uncontrollable #consequences calls for #collaboration .
2b) To reduce #destructiveApplications , we must stop #injustice, #exploitation & #poverty.
3. Limit 2b) through #AI -> #automation -> #UBI -> #democracy .
#future
Solution: #transparency
New #ITtools required for functional #transparency & #democracy ..:
a) #uncensorable and #verifiable #citizen #voting . Secured & enforced by e.g. #blockchain + #distributed #checksums and #P2P #storage .
b) Enforce real #representativeGovernment through citizen-controlled transparency for decision-making in #politics using #multilayer #digitalidentity & #decentralized #socialMedia .
c) #MultiFactor #authentication incl. a mix of #biometrics + manual factors. Controlled by each person, not a #centralAuthority . No need for #passports etc. anymore.
d) Decentralized / #synchronized storage, verifiable (#irrefutable) by anyone, any time, anywhere. (Soon technical & #economical #reality. We're at the brink of a #disruptive storage #technology #breakthrough . Needed for most parts of modern #progress / #society / #business )
