Society will evolve around them and they&#x27;ll be bread out within a few generations of gene editing can lead to such drastic changes.<p>Considering that even today intelligence isn&#x27;t that important as far as what limited natural selection we might still be experiencing it might not be such an easy task to accomplish.<p>Also because natural selection has considerably become less effective as we became a technological species gene editing might be our only way to continue our evolution.<p>That said widespread gene editing also decreases the genetic diversity so don&#x27;t expect anyone to promote it anytime soon until controlled mutation can be successfully added to the process.<p>And while this is an interesting philosophical exercise we are probably at least 5 decades away from it becoming a reality and by then the overall standing of society will change drastically.
