For stroke victims to get their lives back would be a major blessing from God.

Awesome!

I wonder if that will create any undue stress on the spine, requiring a modification to the general framework...

“One of the most fundamental issues with cognitive and physical enhancement techniques is that they contradict the very definition of merit and success that society has relied on for millennia.”

This will be wildly popular with all the leftists and equalitarians, who despise nature for making everyone different.

Finally their wet dream of “everybody is equal” can be realized.

You’ll just need to keep good posture, like those African women who carry baskets on their heads.

Ever since geneticist Dr. John Sanford (inventor of the gene gun) published his ground breaking work, Genetic Entropy, the future of humanity seemed bleak. This was due to the unavoidable accumulation of sub-lethal random mutations throughout our genome until we were no longer viable as a species. With the creation of technology to edit single base pairs, there is now hope that the eventual extinction of humanity due to genetic entropy can be avoided.

Useing statistical methods on people now living, we can identify where the mutations (there are about 100k identified genetic diseases) are and edit them out.

We might wind up with a super baby with a antedeluvian lifespan of hundreds of years.
