Right. It's just vanity. The aim should be to be to have a healthy body and steroid abuse destroys your health. They end up having heart attacks and it causes the testicles to atrophy, among other things.

Do not forget is skeletal structure as no up to the job. He is in for a very difficult future and probably a painful one.

Personally i do not understad why humans should tamper with DNA, we are born the way we are for a reason

What reason would there be for somebody having to suffer from a genetic disorder if this agonizing or crippling disease could be prevented or cured by genome editing?

I do not say other have to see it like i do but as a buddhist i see all form of suffering as karma,
I am my self born with spina bifida and hydrosephalus but i dont complain. but suffer yes from time to time i do.

And which people would those be?

Winstrol (anabolic steroids) is a synthetic steroid, similar to testosterone, used in the treatment of hereditary angioedema, which causes episodes of swelling of the face, extremities, genitals, bowel wall, and throat.
There are several benefits to taking this particular type of anabolic steriod, winstrol.
Benefit #1- Doesn’t Convert into Estrogen
Benefit #2 – Provides Quality Muscle Growth
Benefit #3 – Won’t Cause Water Retention
Benefit #4 – Offers a Lean Appearance Without Bulk
Benefit #5 – Improves Overall Endurance
Benefit #6 – Increases Speed, Agility, and Power
Benefit #7 – Allows Steroid Stacking
Benefit # 8 – Few Winstrol Side Effects
Benefit #9 – High Bioavailability, which means it safely passes through the liver

So in other words... you think a fair number of people in the world are "degenerates" and "mutants." Nice.
Yeah, there's certainly much more compassionate ways of describing them, while still wanting a cure. I and some of my loved ones suffer from mental illness, but if you called me or them a "degenerate" or "sickly mutant" just for that, you might get punched in the mouth. These things require sensitivity. It's not like these things are chosen.

My brother has a mild form of autism, but I still care and love him. Of course, I'd never call him a degenerate or sickly mutant. Gene editing can't cure him from always being so particular and such a misfit, but it might prevent many genetic deficiencies, diseases, disorders or syndromes from occurring in future generations of people.

How would you refer to genetically defective people?
That's fine for wishing that things can be cured in the future. I do, too. I would advise that you choose your words more carefully. "Degenerate" implies moral failure and it's inappropriate to call someone that when they're simply ill.
I'd actually be interested in seeing a report about your perfect genes.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as "perfect" DNA. I used to have a nearly perfectly shaped bode, but now I'm well past my prime....

We counter the quest for immortality by being murderous jerkwads.
I'm an X-Men fan. Calling me a "mutant" wouldn't be an insult.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
You raise an excellent point about the elephant in the room.
It puts me in the rather awkward position of being pro universal, inclusive healthcare anfd research on one hand, while simultaneously being for population stasis/reduction on the other. I'm also pro animal rights, while also being a meat lover.
Humans, right?
