Genetic Engineering Picture #2



url

 This picture is a picture from another dystopian novel called Requiem of the Human Soul, in which, at the start of the book, there is a few D1 Humans, which are optimized for health and anti-disease. At this stage, humans are still humans, people are still normal, only we have basically improved their immune system. There is still 100% human spirit in that body, they are improved humans.  In the second stage, although they retain their human minds, their bodies are stronger and better. This is , in my opinion, the farthest humans should go with genetic engineering. But in the third stage, and this is where the dystopia really is apparent, they actually shape their minds. Control of emotions. The entire book is set when humans have long past the third stage.

Now, the reasoning in the third stage still is apparent. Humans, as nature, crave power. Which is why, If you gave, say 100 humans super strength and super endurance, my guess is that about 20-30 of them would go insane with the power, start robbing banks and murdering people. And no, I'm not just extremely cynical. The human race is a strive for power, and if anyone says how all humans get along, watch the news for 10 minutes- you'll change your mind. Personally, I think that Humans, in terms on genetic engineering, should just stay away from it, with Stage 1 at the most. Because, if the wrong person got their hands on the technology, we would be looking at a war beyond anything anyone's ever seen.
