This filth is from a well-respected scientist in the field of behavioral genetics. I won't bother naming him, but let's read between the lines of this, which has no business being published.
Polygenic genome editing in human embryos and germ cells is predicted to become feasible in the next three decades. Several recent books and academic papers have outlined the ethical concerns raised by germline genome editing and the opportunities that it may present. To date, no attempts have been made to predict the consequences of altering specific variants associated with polygenic diseases. In this Analysis, we show that polygenic genome editing could theoretically yield extreme reductions in disease susceptibility.
When you have nothing, you can say "is predicted to become feasible in the next three decades." This is little more than a setup for the scam of embryo editing. It's sad to me, that eugenic propaganda like this worms its way into being published in Nature as an "analysis."
