Labels are how humans reason about categories of people, behavior, and things, so raging against the way the mind works is pretty futile at best.<p>Anyways - the label fits. If I want to tinker with my own genes, it is downright regressive to suggest that I don&#x27;t own my own body enough to do precisely that.<p>Questions about passing those modifications into the gene pool are a <i>separate</i> from the question from the freedom of a person to do whatever they wish to themselves. I&#x27;d be willing to put up money on a bet that we will eventually have restrictive laws against self genetic modification along the same lines as the War On Drugs, and that those laws will not have exceptions for people who are unable to reproduce.
