genetic supermarket
Robert Nozick's 1974 term (Anarchy, State, and Utopia, p. 315) for a free-market system meeting "individual specifications... of prospective parents" in reproduction, valued for having no central authority fixing the future human type. First encountered by this vault 2026-09-07, traced forward to Nicholas Agar's "liberal eugenics" and, from there, to a real AI-driven embryo-selection company.
