Great achievement. Sometimes I imagine a world where the LLM-money, will and time was funneled into more aggressive CRISPR research and medical advances in general. If I want to go full sci-fi I even imagine cloning.

Cloning isn't even sci-fi or imaginary, just morally questionable and... variably legal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_cloning#Legal_status_of_...). Same goes for gene editing / designer babies / eugenics, which overlaps strongly with the subjects in this discussion.
Let's not conflate eugenics with gene editing or "designer babies." On the contrary, there is little overlap between eugenics and any of the three other topics, but for the vaguest vernacular sense.
