It is incredibly expensive to have these genetic modifications performed. Thus, it creates a class divide between those who can afford to ensure their children are born healthy and those who cannot.

Humans have practiced genetic modification, or genetic engineering (GE), of plants and animals through selection and breeding for more than 10,000 years. It’s called agriculture. During the last ...
