A startup company focused on creating "designer babies" through germline engineering launches.
Date: 2019
Bryan Bishop, a Bitcoin investor, and Max Berry, a former biotech company lab scientist, co-found this as-yet-unnamed company.
Bishop asks for "ethics help" in order to gain the support of geneticists. In a business plan proposal, he says he plans to let parents have transgenic children who can “grow muscle without weightlifting,” who possess genes from long-lived “supercentenarians,” or who are endowed with the AB+ blood type, which means that they could receive a transfusion from anyone.
As of 2023, no company name has been filed.
