Look, you are clearly trying to argue for a policy where it would be impossible for me to argue against anything you say, despite us of course both knowing there are real arguments to be had here, and real considerations to be figured out.
The policy you are arguing for also has approximately no buy-in. Arguments for basic genetic disease screening and gender selection have been published in basically all major newspapers and a substantial fraction of medical journals in relevant fields. Yes, LessWrong has more real discussion of serious gene-editing, and some of that is taboo in more parts of society, but the specific line you are trying to draw here is societally quite rare.
I don’t really know what’s going on with you here. In any case, you have a moderator warning. If this kind of stuff triggers you, you can filter it out from your frontpage. It’s definitely not banned from LW, and if you leave comments that as aggressively attack people, or engage in mass-downvoting of people thinking or commenting about this stuff, I will give you at least a temporary ban. You are of course welcome to make arguments and contribute evidence to whatever people are talking about, but that’s mostly not what’s been happening here.
