Now it publishes a pro-eugenics opinion, mirrored here.
Other advocates such as the Collinses believe widespread adoption of the screening could be a boon for public health by lowering health care spending on heritable diseases and, more controversially, for social ills such as violent crime by raising a society’s overall IQ. “Societies that have more intelligent people will have lower rates of crime, of rape, of violence, because intelligence correlates negatively with those societal blights,” Ms. Collins told me. Such population-level engineering, when done by a parent as opposed to the state, has been called liberal eugenics by its advocates.This Harvard survey shows a lot of support for eugenic embryo screening.

Yes, what a splendid idea. Let us have 'experts' telling us what qualities our children should have or be allowed to have before they are even born. Why even bother with dealing with the foibles of human existence when you can start genetic conformity in the womb.
Mind you, these are the same experts who often openly support abortion on demand, and who couldn't tell you where Covid came from for fear of racism or be honest about medical risks from 'the jab' (the worst excuse for a vaccine that didn't vaccinate in history)...or tell you what a woman is without a dissertation. For some mysterious reason I can't say I have much trust in this lot.
No thank you. Hard pass.
