I think humanity should genetically engineer itself, once it is able to do so effectively. CMV

Not thinking that much about designer babys and more about things which can be objectively improved, mainly: physical condition and cognitive abilities. I don't know how far away we are from being able to do so, but I think when we are, we should absolutely do it. Evolution is quit a slow process and if we could accelerate that, while sticking to nearly unarguably good stuff like thinking faster, have better memory etc. I don't see why we shouldn't do so. A two-classes community (directly translated from german, hope you get it) might or will probably be a temporary result and I realize it sounds a lot like some of the things people tried to do which had quit a bad influence on our history, but once we know enough about it and use it with responsibility, well why not?
People I talked about to this didn't really like it, let's see what reddit has to say.

The big issue here is this: how do we know when we're responsible enough? Is it responsible to create "super soldiers" for our wars? Is it responsible to create people designed for a certain task or role in life (i.e., someone designed for manual labor vs someone designed for high-end technology creation)? Once we have control over how someone is born and how they develop, we would almost have to do these things since such specialisation would not longer be chance and up to nature. Is it *right* to essentially strip someone of their freedom to choose?
