jan 1, 3024 - Genetic Enhancement and Artificial Evolution

Description:

Advances in genetic engineering and CRISPR technology may lead to intentional modifications in the human genome, allowing us to enhance intelligence, physical health, and lifespan. Humans may actively shape their evolution by eliminating genetic diseases and enhancing desirable traits, such as resistance to disease, increased cognitive abilities, or even adaptation to new environments like space. Evidence for this future development comes from current genetic research and gene-editing techniques already being applied to organisms today.
