I think the callous language used to describe people’s wishes here is incorrect and gross, but I don’t wholly disagree. It doesn’t seem contradictory to envision restorative justice for anti-social violence and repression of our class enemies by any means necessary. What else can class struggle entail? Mao reminds us “revolution is not a dinner party. It is a violent process by which one class overthrows another.” Violence is not to be treated lightly.
What to do with severely mentally ill but structurely-powerless reactionaries is a difficult edge case. I think relatively humane life imprisonment is the best option.
I read this novel a while ago and also really liked it! It was mostly an aside, but a stand out moment comes when Bazarov and Arkady are cuddling in the grass in Bazarov’s father’s estate and his pops is just like ‘that’s nice :)’ For whatever reason, that was the moment I felt the most like ‘this is a different culture and era.’

Not a trekkie and writing from a real life perspective: genetic engineering cannot have the consent of the child whereas an adult may freely consent to become a cyborg. Moreover, genetic changes are permanent in the population whereas cyborg modifications end with the individual.
Those ideas coupled with the Federation having the legacy of the Eugenics Wars in the past probably motivate them to ban genetic engineering.

This feels like the technoanarchist version of Little Free Libraries lol.
