Actually just stop allowing anyone with “defective” genes to reproduce.
I am fully I wouldnt exist in this hypothetical world (-11 vision in both eyes), but I would be curious what would happen if we only ever let perfectly healthy people with no genetic defects have kids.
Like would it eventually just become a perfect world where nobody needs glasses or asthma inhalers? Or would we die off because not enough genetically “perfect” people exist to make this plan work?

Some traits end up being beneficial. For instance sickle cell anemia vs malaria.
I’d be curious to see how the definition of “defective” evolves over time in a society like that.
Yeah it would devolve to being like people with freckles or something utterly superficial eventually
As a bundle of recessive genes, I definitely wouldn’t meet the Gattaca standard. :)

That’s sounds interesting it would also be cool to see how long before defective genes show up again
