  • You're not wrong about that interpretation, that's definitely a solid one. I was taking it a little bit more "individualistic" hence my use of the word libertarian. I was seeing it more as him going "these people made their choice they deserve what they get" with no concern for the societal structures that may have put those people into prison. It's also just how much he sees himself as righteous and better than others. However your interpretation of him basically just being the police taken to their logical extreme is definitely a true one, though I do find it somewhat undercut by the people stopping the "bad cop" are the "good cops"

  • Yeah but that's kind of the point. Light is a hyper libertarian big brain asshole who thinks he can decide right and wrong while getting his kicks killing people who he thinks "deserve it". He doesn't actually care about making anyone's lives better or righting actual societal injustice, he only cares that he is god among men.

  • You're definitely right how this without proper regulation could get out of hand with unethical individuals trying to edit genes. I'd say from my non-geneticist perspective the line would be "would editing this gene improve the individual's quality of life or improve their life expectancy". Operationalizing"quality of life" is obviously crucial here and can't be defined socially but medically such as "no debilitating pain".

    I do wonder how things like this will impact existing communities of individuals with disabilities. I'd expect it would probably increase discrimination as it will increase the perception of people with disabilities as being "curable" which isn't always possible or even desirable.
