Why do you insist that the human genetic code is “sacred” or “taboo”?
Gene Splicing and Neural Grafting exemplify crude and invasive techniques for modifying an organism. The more refined Bio-engineering method arranges a desired genetic code directly from the component compounds, enabling widespread and economical cellular transplants for an entire population.
It is a chemical process and nothing more. For that matter we are
chemical processes and nothing more. If you deny yourself a useful
tool simply because it reminds you uncomfortably of your mortality,
you have uselessly and pointlessly crippled yourself.
