About:
This is a Bi-Weekly PEAR Meetup, where we talk about recent posts on EA, ACX, or LessWrong or do something else interesting. Please feel free to come, even if, like many of us, you feel awkward about it, feel that you're not the typical rationalist or effective altruist, are completely new to either community, or worry that people won't like you, etc.
Food will be provided! With most options being vegetarian or vegan. Can't wait to see you!

Topic:
This talk will cover many of the points I've addressed in these two LessWrong posts:

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/yT22RcWrxZcXyGjsA/how-to-have-polygenically-screened-children
https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/moqzbFTBMenwfw62S/twiblings-four-parent-babies-and-other-reproductive

I'll be talking primary about embryo selection and the current methods for people to actually use it, but I'll also touch on the prospects for using more powerful methods of genetic engineering like CRISPR, iterated meiotic selection, and genome synthesis.
