if parents don't make that choice we won't become post human. the best time to
fiddle with genes is in the womb, or before, not after. if some decide not to
meddle, and only procreate as "wild" humans, that is their choice. i expect
they will die out in time as their offspring are left behind.
i believe it is of paramount importance that humanity stores as many as
possible diverse genotypes of all species of plant and animal life.
