The really weird thing about the whole experiment is realizing that you can do the entire process out of order, and quantum mechanics doesn't even give a fuck. It can jump to an energy state before you even send the pulse, as long as you do send it eventually. Which is even more weird than all of the energy states calculating the data all at the same time, which is already pretty got damn weird.
This technology is supposed to cut and paste correct. So one could also assume it could dynamically change a person to look differently since they are changing them at the lowest level? Or be used to recreate/clone a human or animals that are dead.
Your body doesn't change shape just because your genetics say you should if you're already grown into your current meatspace. But You can cause new growths, or you can cause the body to start excreting new enzimes or proteins, which could alter a lot of other things. You could probably change people's skin, hair, or eye colors that way. It's even possible you could introduce photosynthesis in the human skin, or even make it so we started producing Vitamin C. Or you could design a retrovirus that kills everyone with a specific gene marker. As far as cloning goes, it'd probably just be easier to use the genes provide from the samples you want to clone rather than building it from scratch with this. But you could us CRISPR-Cas9 to design completely new species. They've already used it to design a plant that glows at night.
Also, if you basically think about everything you've ever seen get fucked up by lazy and careless cutty-pastey? Yeah, it can do that to a human body.
Photosynthi-bear. MAKE IT SO! Edit: I will also accept Tang-bear. This is why we're not allowed to SCIENCE.
What if your eye color already changes. List of colors my eyes have been Gold Brown / gold green / brown hazel with gold streaks green / brown hazel Green grey / green Grey Blue / grey My eyes also change in that order So if they are gold. To change to the next color, brown will come in on the out side of the iris and move towards the center, then green will appear on the outside and move toward the center, and so on with grey, then blue. It's the reverse to go back the other way and it never has skipped from what I can tell. It's also never been real blue just grey blue color. I have also watched it change in a mirror from gold to green / brown hazel, or from grey to green / brown hazel in about 2 minutes. Weirds me out when it does it. Normally see it when shaving or brushing my teeth.
Officially, your eyes don't change color, only the light is changing and makes it appear that way. I think that's bullshit though. Mine range from gray to blue to green. Usually more gray. They're almost never the same color two days in a row, or even a whole day. And it isn't affected by what I'm wearing or what the lighting is.
Apparently, scientists have used that CISPER-9 genome to edit out HIV from human cells... Also, my eyers are generally a pale green/hazel. Change a bit depending on the light of the day. Cloudy or overcast is more gray like, sunny is a more blue/green.
so two questions came to mind about the CIPSER-9 could it modify human genes to make them less hostile/aggressive. And if so would it affect the current human or the next generation if said trait could be passed down through procreation. Basically im asking if the technology has the ability to social engineer through genetic modification so humans act or behave a specific way. And the second question is much more dark in nature. Since you said it could create a new life form, what is stopping humanity from creating a sub human life form to be used as slave labor while "normal humans" reap the benefits of never having to work again.
Medical ethics is the only thing preventing either of those, really. But I was wondering what would happen if you released a retrovirus in the world that made gave everyone a strong sense of empathy. Empathy bomb the world.
So basically nothing then. I'm more worried about them making some zombie virus just so they can say "yeah we did that", which they have a host of brain fungi they can choose to start from.
