If genetic engineering proves effective and expensive parents should have the right to sign a contract binding on their future genetically engineered child which transfers a percentage of this child's future earnings to the company that financed the child's genetic engineering. Besides benefiting society by promoting genetic engineering, such contracts could be freely traded and would have a market price that would provide a powerful signal about the value of different types of genetic engineering.
I don't understand the specific consequences of buying such a contract from the ones who signed it.
You buy the contract from the person who provided the financing and in return get the payments from the genetically enhanced person.
I'm reminded of this novel.
