Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Discusses the delicate yet urgent issue of heritable human genome editing. Considers the many ethical complexities of genetic engineering of human genomes, exploring viewpoints informed by decades of invasive medical interventions, invasive nonmedical body modifications, in vitro fertilization, and genetic screening. Explores humanity’s distressing historical entanglements with eugenic policies, drawing on the perspectives of bioethicists, philosophers, disability rights advocates, and futurists. Considers issues surrounding genetic determinism, polygenic scores, authoritarian versus liberal eugenics, and genetic treatment versus enhancement. Introduces the alarming possibility of “guerilla eugenics” in the form of genetic welding with CRISPR-Cas9 gene drives should they be applied to human genomes.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
