Dear Natasha Loder, thank you very much for your article, it is excellent. My comment is: The creation of superhumans is not only technically feasible but increasingly appears as an ethically justified option for the wealthy of the planet: selection of oocytes, selection of sperm donors, selection of embryos, cloning, genetic editing, genetic optimization, surrogacy, physical and intellectual enhancement, child coaching, elite education, and university endogamy are just some of the ways to achieve it.
