“Harvard geneticist George Church thinks it’s “ludicrous” to compare his dating app — that uses genes to pair adults together — to eugenics. “It’s ludicrous to think that’s what I’m doing, but it makes good clickbait, doesn’t it?” Churchtold The Daily Beast.”

“You are basically bringing them into an emerging job-copalypse and climate dystopia.”

“Can’t you just do genetic screenings to see if you and your partner are carriers of whatever diseases you have in your respective families? Why turn it to a dating app?”

Or, a childhood playground version of that: “You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you shouldn’t pick your friend’s nose....”
