The embryo is not even capable of reading or visual understanding or auditory understanding: 0 IQ points, better terminate pregnancy
Was gonna say this makes zero sense. IQ tests are extremely dubious at best even when personalized to the individuals cultural norms and mostly revolve around learned cultural behaviors and pattern recognitions that stem from those cultural behaviors. An embryo has not yet learned anything how could it have an IQ.
IQ tests were an absolute mistake to the point that even the dude who invented them tried to get people to stop using them.
Lol if the fascist eugenicists who are making this didn't think IQ was a function of how much aryan blood you have in your veins they would have never made this garbage. Zero chance this isn't descended from 's grants for geneticists making eugenics apps. Did you hear about the eugenics dating app?
That's a thing? Of course that's a thing
Using the tiniest of calipers to check skulls
Among the firm’s senior staff is the academic Jonathan Anomaly, who has caused controversy after defending what he describes as “liberal eugenics”.
The guy defending eugenics goes by "Mr. Anomaly"? Why do these stories always feature silly details like that
nominative determinism
probably even more pathetic, it is either his working name or he legally changed it for additional notoriety hype
BEEP BEEP BEEP
makes zero sense, they would need a dataset showing every detail of an embryo and correlating it to IQ later in life, no such thing exists, period
eugenicist designer babies make far more sense with our current technology, reasonably you could measure what their eye color or hair color would be and abort if you didnt like it (wtf lol imagine putting your body through all of this just to get a baby like this)
Managers boasted their methods could produce a gain of more than six IQ points.
bro what a normal person can experience iq swings on a particular day greater than this just by not sleeping well
When I was looking up the numbers for my joke I came across this delightfully relevant stat:
About 42% of children change their score by 5 or more points when re-tested.
"Well, considering the amount of money you've given us to provide this 'service', it's safe to say you don't need to worry about your child having an excessive IQ... In particular, I'd say there is about 66% chance of it being between 85 and 115."
Sorry kid, your parents didn't pass the IQ test.
Eugenics as a Service.
: "What if you could identify your baby's IQ and abort it if it's below Mensa levels?"
WHAT IF I COULD JUST AFFORD TO HAVE MY CHILD AND TAKE IT TO A DOCTOR????????
Westerners literally can't help but be real life Viltrumites.
Every ten seconds they need to "purge the weak" or whatever.
I wish all eugenicists a safe trip to the deepest circle of hell
Wow... caliper technology really has progressed quite a ways hasn't it?
For Michael Christensen, Heliospect’s Danish CEO and a former financial markets trader, genetic selection promises a bright future. “Everyone can have all the children they want and they can have children that are basically disease-free, smart, healthy; it’s going to be great,” he boasted during a video call in November 2023.
Kid named microplastics
honestly i almost respect the grift, because there's literally no way of getting reliable results and that's a lot of money to charge gullible race realists
