(As I have told GeneSmith, superbabies is also IMO a mildly toxic term, as it’s a bad concept to apply to children. For example, it makes it seem like there’s some category here, which there isn’t much of, and it makes it seem like a product you’re buying (“designer babies”), which it isn’t (they are people), and it subtly bakes in a universal notion of good (similar to “enhancement”), which there shouldn’t be, and it kinda instrumentalizes / objectifies kids, which you shouldn’t do.)
