When is it time to engineer RoundUp ready humans too?

Imagine genetic modification being advertised to expectant mothers. It could work on a subscription basis. The parent makes a one-time payment before birth for the modification. Then after the child's 18th birthday the corporation gets a percentage of their income each year for life. If they don't pay then the corporation gets to reclaim their property.

Instead your kid is born a beautiful genius, and you pay monthly for 'personalized DNA stabilization boosters' (cant take someone elses, individually copyrighted formula) for the rest of his life.
