PolygenX's controversial $50,000 genetic screening service for selecting attractive traits in embryos has sparked outrage, with accusations of promoting eugenics among the wealthy elite.
Critics have highlighted that PolygenX's methods not only adhere to dubious ethical standards but also connect to a disturbing trend of scientific racism, further complicating the narrative surrounding designer babies.
The company's founders, linked to far-right ideologies, and the use of PGT-P for traits like intelligence raise alarms about a slippery slope towards a societal divide based on genetic advantages.
Some experts warn that without strict regulations like those in the UK, the emergence of companies like PolygenX could exacerbate social inequities, leading to a divide between genetically enhanced individuals and the rest.
