3. Other countries will follow. The US will lose both experienced scientists and those in training.

Of course, Trump/Musk will simply say that admitting mire white men to universities will fix any science brain drain, and AI can replace bioscientists anyway.

I don’t remember the source of where I read this, but a recent article about pro-natalists, who want either voluntary creation of large families (white) or government incentives or force to create them, want federal science research to focus on eugenics and gene mapping to improve IQ and other genetic factors in children. In other words, scientists should give parents a menu of what they want in their children and then change their genes in the womb to accomplish this. Or, they could replace the genes in fertilized eggs from IVF.

This attitude reminds me of the ignorant Ohio legislators who tried to pass a law several years ago requiring doctors to re-implant the embryo from an ectopic pregnancy into the womb—a medical impossibility. We have some true lunatics in this country.
