Gene therapy is illegal and unsafe. You don't wanna give yourself cancer.
>>42160941
You don't know that
>>42160941
whatever it gonna take
>>42160941
>Gene therapy is illegal
That depends on where you're living, if the chinese government chooses to legalize it, nobody can say anything against it.
>and unsafe
Not really. We have a pretty good grasp of how genes work and how certain strands can be manipulated to embed a desired gene or change the expression of a desired gene. Simple stuff like eye color, skin color can be changed very easily and even stuff like genes that suppress myostatin production ( resulting in more muscle) can be changed through modifications in your genes. Unless you fuck up other shit in the process, genetically modifying an early stage embryo is pretty save.

for now...

>simple stuff like eye color
All the genes involved in your "simple" examples are not even known and understood.

China -- the place where they can't make safe elevators, toys or food. Let's let them play around with the genetic code!

They will breed super humans & super freaks, nothing you can do. Better let them find the right combos by trial & error.
>>42161357
They are going to exterminate themselves, that's what's going to happen.
>Mandatory genetic modification CHINA STRONK
>Oops turns out the gene altering drugs were made in the same factory where gutter oil is made
>Mass death and deformation 20 years down the line, half the population becomes incapacitated one generation later
Actually, I support this now.

They could easily afford even 90% population loss if the remaining ones have superior strength, agility, intelligence, etc.
Ubermensch can rebuild from ashes.

SLAMMED
Perhaps now they'll finally be able to escape their elevators with their superhuman strength.
>>42160898
I think we are going to get down the rabbit hole in a sense. We should be careful nature has a way of humbling things

You'd think super humans would use the stairs anyways
>>42162622
You'd think at least those would be safe, right?

As usual, Aussies are already ahead.
