I was thinking about this while we’ve been doing the Khan memes.
La’an is a descendent of Khan, meaning she has genetically augmented DNA.
If Una had a kid and didn’t augment that kid’s DNA further, could that kid legally be in Starfleet?
Is there a “as long as your own personal DNA wasn’t augmented, you can be in Starfleet?” Because that doesn’t make much sense to me.
Not necessarily - real gene therapies that are in use now are carefully designed so that modifications are not inherited. For example, Casgevy which targets blood stem cells to treat sickle cell anemia. Because the treatment is limited to specific types of cells modifications don’t get into the germ line.
