Forced sterilization is the only option.

Forced sterilization only ceased in the United States in 1981, I'm sure the CCP has enough authoritarian power to forcibly sterilize genetically altered humans if they chose to do so.

I disagree with forced sterilization, just to be clear.

Are there cases of that happening? Besides the known ones in the US I mean, I'm talking about China

[quickthrowman]

Yeah, against the Uyghur population in Xinjiang: https://apnews.com/article/ap-top-news-international-news-we...

I’m not sure if there are any cases against Han Chinese people, probably the one child policy was effective enough.

The article is FUD of course, but one thing worth noting is how it assumes a dropping pregnancies are because of forced sterilization and not just improving life quality - which is how it works everywhere else.

yeah, forced sterilization was common in China with their one-child policy that was only recently rescinded. There are plenty of stories and even documentaries on it.

The wikipedia on the page is suspiciously absent of evidence, so I'm not sure how true that actually is

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_sterilization

That page isn't a list of first-hand accounts, it's just a summary. Checkout some of the documentaries on this: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=one+child+documentary+china

The Nazis did it to disabled people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_for_the_Prevention_of_Here...) and there are more countries listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_sterilization

Social workers are proposing forced sterilization for disabled people in parts of Western Europe. They have, of course, chosen to change the term to "forced anticonception".

Their case is that the attitude of one woman and one couple are causing too much stress, but really costs, on the social sector.

The woman is a prostitute that would allegedly offers sex with a visibly pregnant woman to increase her revenue. She has declared in court she doesn't mind if the child is taken away, in fact she wants that.

The other are a couple, both have Down syndrome. A very important detail is that Down syndrome, despite being a genetic problem, IS NOT hereditary, so their kids are healthy. Well, not 100%, but they certainly don't have Down syndrome. Now for this couple this is actually a problem, since these kids rapidly grow smarter than their parents ... at age 6-7-8, at which point they completely control their parents and the situation has "exploded" more than once, in fact more than a hundred times.

The couple have declared, in court, that "they will keep trying until they get to keep one".

This brings a number of weird consequences. For example, if you're worried about the future offspring then you should probably allow Down syndrome children to procreate, and in fact allow this at lower ages than 18 (because they have reduced lifespan, if you want them to have good odds of seeing their kids graduate, they must have kids before the age of 26 or so, and at 26 only half will be seeing their kids' high school graduation from their deathbed in a hospital, the other half will not see it).

On the other hand, if effects on offspring are your worry, you should probably forcibly abort babies in healthy women merely because they drink alcohol (or take drugs) during pregnancy. Fetal alcohol syndrome is real and does not just affect 1 generation. And it's the timing that matters, not so much the amount of alcohol. One sip in month 1-4 will be worse than a bigger amount after the 8th month. And whatever else you think about Cannabis, it is most certainly not safe during pregnancy, although the usual argument does apply: not nearly as bad as alcohol or drugs. But still very, very bad. Are you prepared to forcibly abort a baby because a mother had one sip of alcohol? Plus how would you ever know?
