Just like eugenics, the Catholics are opposed to this:
By radically modifying the human body, Asla points out that there is a need to carefully analyze the possible benefits but also “the costs, risks, and possible unintended consequences.” “For example, if in order to extend the longevity of some people it is necessary to experiment on healthy people and expose them to unpredictable risks that would not be morally permissible. Another common moral objection made to these proposals is the real possibility of generating an exponential increase in human inequalities, giving rise to elite social classes (the improved ones) and vulnerable and at-risk classes (the natural ones),” he warned.
but like most Catholic teachings, it is nuanced: Using it to enhance a human being so they can live a normal life would be okay as long as it is not dangerous,
but using it to produce a perfect baby with a high IQ would be wrong, because essentially you are doing an experiment on a normal person, and of course if it goes wrong, the idea is that you discard the growing child.

My latest: The company was careful to acknowledge that the dire wolf is not actually back but that the pups are “functional equivalents.

But “functional equivalent” is not a headline grabber, so much of the media went with the exaggerated version.https://t.co/aG7nt6pijC

then you have this: Like transgenders having babies, it is experimenting on a child, but the ethical problems go beyond medical practice
