Let’s say there are consequences where all genetic alterations are difficult to sandbox and largely irreversible during an extended, but still finite lifetime of around half a millennia.

Rules:

  • changes will be passed down to your offspring
  • any change may make you sterile, but large changes will always make you sterile
  • alterations are most effective when done under the age of 20 and do not fully manifest for decades
  • if you screw up your code it might be deadly
  • biology as an engineering corpus is several orders of magnitude more complex than computer science was in the 21st century – screwing up is very easy
  • any adaptation present in evolutionary life is technically possible to someone dumb enough to try and brilliant enough to pull it off

These are the rules, what do you change?

      Vagina dentata (Latin for ‘toothed vagina’) is a folk tale tradition in which a woman’s vagina is said to contain teeth, with the associated implication that sexual intercourse might result in injury, emasculation, or castration for the man involved.

      Well that’s my something new for today.
