Are we still talking egg and sperm in a human body and everybody consenting? In that case, how would having hackable genes improve your chances of survival? If that was a dating app filter maybe.
Not necessarily, because (1) the “wild” viruses would still exist and evolve, competing with treatments and maybe learning to leverage them, and (2) bad people use science too.
If science and technology last thousands of years, I'm sure it will progress far past the point where the body's natural resistance to change becomes an obstacle to any kind of treatment.
yah what? This is like the CIA arguing for insecure algorithms so they can spy on enemies.
Think again about your statement, what you're saying is the fitest is the easiest to manipulate? Thats just mindboggling bad, cause you'd also be a honey pot for all the other bacteria and viruses out there.
If "your" genes can be so easily modified (down the line by your children doing gene therapies) there is nothing you are really passing on. In fact you are doing the exact opposite. The best way to pass your genes on is to have them hardened, like they already are and stop any gene editing competition before it begins ;-).
