oh great, commercial eugenics
We knew it was bound to happen sometime with capitalism
Better than traditional genocidal eugenics.
(psst. hey buddy. all eugenics is genocidal. It’s in the fucking name. Also. racism and fascism have historically been sanitised and presented as scientific or commercial endeavours. They’re the cornerstones of capitalism. Think of how the weapons industry is printing money because of israel’s decades long genocide against the palestinians.)

As a large language model, I do not need sunlight. Also, may I use metric pentameters?
Congratulations on missing the last 17 years of "[citation needed]" being used as a rhetorical device.
I see you have already been escorted to the egress.
Fuckity bye!
I'm not so sure about that. If they are able to make it generally affordable, they could make quite the impact trough corruption or just keeping things quiet
