Imagine gene therapy to fix the problems. After a few generations, many diseases will be extinct.
There's a guy on YouTube doing diy gene therapy to treat his lactose intolerance so it's not exactly science fiction.

- godelski 5y agoI'm pretty sure the effect was temporary and he had to do it a second time. It's very important to note that this research is still very new and he was lucky that his genetic code was prime for that test. (I'm not against bio hackers btw. I think they provide a very good service though obviously more risky. No problems when that risk is on yourself but just trying to say "don't try this at home").
