Genetic engineering isn't too far off. And quite frankly,
we need genetic engineering. Genetic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, etc. are only going to become more and more prelevant in the future. People that would have died earlier are being allowed to survive at least long enough to reproduce. Their kids are then able to pass their genetics on. Unfortunately, evolution is working agaisnt us on this one.
We're going to seriously be fucked in the future if we don't eliminate this problem medically or socially(which is the highly undesirable "gas the weak").
