China is going to rule the world_reason #54

It's Chinese GATTACA.

In China, researchers are now trying to use DNA testing to predict children's talents and futures. Scientists took a DNA sample from a swabbing of the child's cheek then isolated 7 genes. Further analysis supposedly can reveal the child's athleticism, emotional stability, IQ, focus, memory, etc.

"For about $880, Chinese parents can sign their kids up for the test and five days of summer camp in Chongqing, where the children will be evaluated in various settings from sports to art. The scientific results, combined with observations by experts throughout the week, will be used to make recommendations to parents about what their child should pursue."

So basically, while we are in our 20s going "WTF am I doing with my life?!'' Chinese kids already know by the time they are 10.
