Most of them are number 2. But the ones that actually matter are number 1. Anytime a new medical discovery is made it's via number 1 obviously. In the previous years it's been pretty slow but I have a feeling shits about to get real. Cybernetics, Gene Therapy, Designer Babies. Won't be too long before 12 year olds are smarter then our geniuses because we designed them with the best shit. After that, gg universe.

Most are #2 but #1 arent too uncommon. Even option #2 takes innate skill
