Well China is doing total surveillance, even the most dystopian sci-fi are now an everyday reality of China, some BlackMirror episode like the one on Social Credit which were meant to be sci-fi are now more of a documentary on China's Score system.

And now China announced they edited a baby's gene not to cure him but just to test if they can buit a new generation of more resistant humans.

Please tell me how this is not completely screwed up ?

(I'm not defending the US, they are in the top of the most mass surveillance countries too, I'm just defending some basic notion like "We should not use non-consenting people as guinea pig to build a stronger race of human" and this kind of stuff...)
