What if humanity had to rewrite its own DNA to survive?
The genie is out of the bottle: After Jennifer Doudna’s and Samuel Sternberg’s book "A crack in Creation", the question is no longer whether humans will change their genome; the question is when - and how.
​
Already, we are trying to fix genetic mutations to cure genetic diseases. The first FDA-approved treatments are out.​ Soon, we may edit the human genome to "improve" ourselves. If you think that's crazy SciFi, check out Enriquez' and Gullan's book about "Evolving ourselves".
​
Imagine: A world with different human races that emerged from genetic editing to enable us to live on different planets. What prejudices would they have of each other? What would they learn from each other? Would erotic love still be possible? Are the altered creatures super-human or deficient in humanity? How will those altered beings feel about their identity?
