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.

Depends if they altered her eggs too. It’s a different story with dudes, who produce gametes for all their lives, as opposed to women, who are born with all the gametes they will have.

Wouldn’t they have augmented her in vitro rather than wait until any natural development took place?

The augmentations by Illyrians happen in-utero.

Did they say that? I guess I missed that in the show.
