    That’s true. I guess I just figured this type of thing is inevitable, and that the first person to do it would kind of have to be a mad scientist. Like if it wasn’t him it’d be someone else, so idk. Probably not a great guy in any case

      No there absolutely is a way without unconsented human experiments. You can go slow and prove every step of your procedure is save (enough) before doing it. That way you dont have to lie to the other people involved.

        I’m aware that it can (and should) be done ethically, but it seems inevitable that a mad scientist will make a lot of the initial discoveries due to all the red tape around “playing God” and general public disgust at the idea of genetic modifications.
