Better than What?: Embryo Selection, Gene Editing, and Evaluative Counterfactuals.

A commentary on the 2024 article "Reasons and Reproduction: Gene Editing and Genetic Selection," by J. McMahan and J. Savulescu is presented. Topics covered include the authors' two-tier view about gene editing, the reason why gene editing is better for the edited person than its normatively relevant alternatives and the comments on the authors' claim that the impersonal view is implausible.
