Today's question:
The year is 2250 and humans have perfected gene editing, resulting in only two social classes: the rich and the poor. Only the poor are permitted to reproduce. You have decided to reproduce, but Each aspiring parental couple is required to pick one of two gene sets for their offspring:
1. The Prodigy: perfect cognition, athleticism, appearance and all other human traits, but with one caveat: terminal illness is always guaranteed by age 30 and resulting death by age of 40.
This gene set will always propel the family into the riches.
2. The Underdog: not the sharpest, physically unremarkable, no good looks, but will never suffer from any illness and guaranteed to live until 70 and beyond.
This gene set will always keep one impoverished.
Which gene set do you choose for your offspring and why?
