I doubt that editing our genome will ever accomplish much. Maybe some minor improvements here and there, primarily with reducing the incidence of certain diseases. But there's no free lunch in biology and every advantage comes with disadvantages. For example, some people want to be taller but they don't realize that increases the risk of back problems later in life. Most people don't even get close to their genetic limits anyway. We're capable of much more than we realize but we fall into mental traps and fool ourselves into thinking we're incapable. Some guy just set a world record by holding his breath for 29 minutes: a few years ago most people would have said that's impossible. https://www.uow.edu.au/media/2025/the-science-behind-a-freedivers-29-minute-breath-hold-world-record.php https://www.uow.edu.au/media/2025/the-science-behind-a-freed...
