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

Cancer, maybe, IDK. Heart disease - we don't need gene therapy for this. See the work done by Repair Biotechnologies and Cyclarity Therapeutics. https://www.repairbiotechnologies.com/

This is interesting, I wonder how it will affect unstable plaques, also very interested to see how they mask them from our immune system
