Some wild speculations about the future potential of gene therapy:

→ Remove scarcity genes, e.g., no urge to eat junk food
→ Require little to no sleep
→ Require little to no exercise to stay fit, e.g., via myostatin inhibition
→ Enhance the immune system
→ Flush out compounds on demand, e.g., caffeine

How will they determine these things without testing in humans, I feel like it’s a slippery slope, gene therapy is still in its relative infancy and we don’t have a full grasp of a lot of biochem processes we undergo, also one horror story would shut it down, like with psychedelics in the 60s

I don't know. That's why I said "wild speculations".
