"The technocapital sorting machine would start early—well before birth. In this society, every person has a social status score: a composite index based on both their genetic potential and their actualized achievement. When someone wants to reproduce, they have to fill out an application with the Department of Family Planning (DFP). The DFP matches them with a genetically-compatible person of a similar social status score. After multiple rounds of polygenic screening and a few low-risk CRISPR edits, the fetus gestates in the uterus of a genetically-modified cow. When the baby is born, it’s ripped away from its parents and sent to a dedicated nursery where extensive biometrical and psychometric tests are performed daily to determine the child’s rightful place in society."
At least you asked if it was supposed to be funny!
