Sam Altman, 2017, "genetic enhancement is going to happen" ... thereby proving that this dipshit has zero understanding of medical ethics.

(It ain't going to work on adults, it's only practical on neonates, which raises huge issues of informed consent to elective but life-altering medical procedures—before we get any deeper into the can of worms.)
