modify, not "improve", perhaps speciate, perhaps become like insects with physicly different specialised castes, perhaps fail to understand the complecity and end up unable to outperform natural selection, but most definitly the game is on
and the game is open ended, and the technology is fairly strait forward ,useing tools that do not require the ulra high precision and refinement of
elecro/mechanical technologys, so containment and control of bio/genetic technology will be impossible.
the main constraint on unhinged out of control developments is that iterating will remain slow, and require carefull planing and methodical implimentation over generational time spans, but costs will be low, and any sufficiently motivated small group/company/country can join the"fun", which is another point, this will be more "art" that science, as there is no equivalent to other types of engineering, so cloning will be atractive, but will present serious problems if large numbers of cloned indivuals are attempted.
I leave out ethics and morality and refer anyone to the blank stare response that will be given by the types of people who are, right now, giving, while they go about realising there ideal society.
