>>41890201- Moral worth is not defined by any single universal trait, instead, it is defined by which trait is most important for the species in context, the moral worth among monkey is what allows them to survive the best, ergo, athleticism, quick reflexes, etc etc. The moral worth of giraffes could be their size, for humans it is painfully obvious what we are best at, intelligence.
2- This type of technology would completely abstract biology and humanity as a whole, the only way I would support the application of gene editing is by some neutral force like an AI or something that doesn't have a reason to feel strongly towards anything, this is to mimic how nature really works while also speeding up the process of evolution, you must understand that the highest form of existence to our lizard brain is becoming literal trees, btw I'm an old school eugenicist I'm not really for gene editing or what have you, but in case of its inevitable arrival I think it should best be applied the way I explained.
3- Taxonomy is gay, I find it much more scientifically oriented to treat population groups in a vacuum first rather than trying to connect them to another population group, also what do you mean whites are the most uniform? This is definitely the worst of the three questions since it's SNCA
