On a societal level, genetic engineering that only the wealthy can afford would threaten social cohesion by ruling out equality of opportunity. Genetic haves and have-nots could form separate castes, with reproductive isolation possibly producing physical changes that would make inter-caste procreation impossible.
在社会层面，只有富豪才负担得起的基因工程会挤出机会质量，从而威胁社会团结。基因有产者和无产者可能形成独立的等级，生殖隔离可能造成生理变化，导致跨等级生育变得不可能。最终，人类物种将出现分化。
