On top of that, it’s not at all obvious how the logistics work out in a world with volunteer armed forces (and other jobs). Most editing needs to happen during development, which means you’d need to recruit parents. Maybe some overly-moto idiots would agree but anyone who would seems like dubious stock for a super-human! Even if they did, there’s an 18 year lag before the kid maybe enlists. Then you’ve got to covertly move them to whatever speciality can use their new abilities. The whole process seems slow, low-yield, and involves so many people [0] that it could not possibly remain secret if someone were trying this. And,
of course, that’s all glossing over the fact that we don’t understand or know how to manipulate polygenetic or plieotropic traits…which is all the strategically interesting ones! [0] For example, the school nurse flags something. Now what? |
