Editing a gene is not like editing code. But I'll let the rich folks experience the wonders of body-horror.

Who am I to deny them this nightmare😏

Here’s a scarier thought, if they can fine tune this shit enough they’ll probably just clone themselves and pull a ship of Theseus on themselves. Removing the only remaining equalizer between them and the rest of humanity.

The rich fucks at the top want to become gods. They won’t call it that but that’s the end game for the ones with the most hand on the wheel.

That's already happened. It happened a long time ago.

Back-alley gene editors and ripperdocs. You wanna be competitive? Can't afford legit implants or gene therapy? Take a chance on DIY cybernetics and methlab gene splicing drugs!

I think we all end up like the Asgards from SG-1 without the ability to transfer our consciousness to a new body.

Extinct via hubris. Obviously this assumes we do something about runaway global heating.

Planet of the Rich, where the apes are billionaires and everyone else is... pretty much the same.
