What happens when parents can choose their children's genetic traits, and which selections benefit society versus harm it? In this talk, Jonathan Anomaly explores the emerging field of embryo selection for intelligence, disease prevention, and longevity. He covers how polygenic risk scores work to predict complex traits and why most diseases involve thousands of genetic variants rather than single genes.
Jonathan Anomaly is a former professor who spent 15 years studying the intersection of game theory and ethics, focusing on collective action problems. He recently co-founded a stealth company that will be among the first to offer embryo selection for intelligence and disease prevention.
