I suspect it will be. We are already detecting genetic illnesses, and most of the scientists working on these problems with the goal of bettering human existence.
I won't make any assumptions about you, but I've suffered due to the poorly constructed features of the human genetic structure failing. My life would be much better if those could be fixed.
- you_owe_me 8y agoSame here. I was born ugly, so bring on genetic enhancement
- pault 8y agoI'm not sure if you're joking or not (it did make me chuckle), but as dystopian as it sounds, I would prefer to live in a world where everyone is beautiful, since it would eliminate barriers for less attractive folks, and eliminate advantages for the more attractive ones. Of course, if we do ever learn how to change our physical appearance with genetics, the fashion industry will just change the definition of "beautiful" every five years anyway.

- you_owe_me 8y agoI was half-joking, but you do have a point. Nothing guarantees the standards of beauty will remain the same.
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoA lot of the factors have been very stable for a long time and are unlikely to change too much, e.g. symmetry, hair and skin in good condition, etc.
